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 wordsIt came a reelin' up
Like Christmas bells
And rappin' up
Like pipes and drumsOh, wont you stay
Well put on the day
And well wear it
Til the night comesWoke up, it was a Chelsea Morning
And the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains
And a rainbow on the wallBlue, red, green
And gold to welcome you
Crimson crystal beads
To beckonOh, wont you stay
Well put on the day
Theres a sun show
Every secondNow the curtain opens
On a portrait of today
And the streets
Are paved with passersbyAnd pigeons fly
And papers lie
Waitin' to blow awayWoke 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 tooAnd the sun poured
In like butterscotch
And stuck
To all my sensesOh, wont you stay
Well put on the day
And well talk
In present tensesWhen the curtain closes
And the rainbow runs away
I will bring you incense owls by night
By candlelightBy jewel-light
If only you will stay
Pretty baby, wont you
Wake up, its a Chelsea Morning
