I 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 in like Christmas bells 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 I woke up it was a Chelsea morning And the first thing that I saw Was the sun through yellow curtains And a rainbow on my 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 Do do do do do do Do do do do do do Now the curtains opens on a portrait of today And the streets are paved with passers-by Pigeons fly and papers lie Waiting to blow away I woke up it was a Chelsea morning The first thing that I knew There was milk and toast and honey And a bowl of oranges too And the light poured in like butterscotch 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 jewel light by candlelight if only you will stay Oh my darling Won't you wake up it's a Chelsea morning
