Chelsea Morning

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
 And the first thing that I heard
 Was a song outside my window
 And the traffic wrote the words
 It came a-ringing up like Christmas bells
 And rapping up like pipes and drums
 Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
 And we'll wear it till the night comes
 Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
 And the first thing that I saw
 Was the sun through yellow curtains
 And a rainbow on the wall
 Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you
 Crimson crystal beads to beckon
 Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
 Theres a sun show every second
 Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
 And the streets are paved with passersby
 And pigeons fly and papers lie awaiting to blow away
 Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning
 And the first thing that I knew
 There was milk and toast and honey
 And a bowl of oranges, too
 And the sun poured in like butterscotch
 And stuck to all my senses
 Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
 And we'll talk in present tenses
 When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
 I will bring you incense owls by night
 By candlelight, by jewel light if only you will stay
 Pretty baby, won't you wake up, it's a Chelsea morning?
