Chelsea Morning

One, two

One, two, three, four

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning

And the first thing that I heard

Was the song outside my window

And the traffic wrote the words

It came ringing up like Christmas bells

And rapping up like pipes and drums

Won't you stay? We'll put on the day

And we'll wear it 'til 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

Red, green and gold to welcome you

And crimson crystal beads to beckon

Won't you stay? We'll put on the day

There's a sun shower every second

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 light poured in like butterscotch

And stuck to all my senses

Won't you stay? We'll put on the day

And we'll talk in present tenses
