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 ´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
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
(instrumental)
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
