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 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

There's 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

Waiting 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 orange juice 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 cuntain closes

And the rainbow runs away

I will bring you incense owls by night

By candlelight, by two jewel light

If only you will stay

Pretty baby won't you

Wake up, it is a Chelsea morning
