| Lyrics: | Woke up big this 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 a day and we'll wear it till the night
comes
Woke up big this 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 peaks to beckon
Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day, there's a
side-show every second
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
And the streets
are paved with passers-by
And pictures fly and papers lie
Just waiting to blow
away
Woke up big this 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
Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on a day and we'll
talk in present tenses
Now the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
I'll bring
you incense owls by night
By candle-light, by jewel-light
If only you will
stay
Pretty baby, won't you
Wake up, it's the Chelsea morning |
