[Intro]
Ooh, ba ba ba ba
Ooh, ba ba ba ba

[Verse 1]
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 up like Christmas bells
And rapping up like pipes and drums

[Chorus]
Oh, won't you stay?
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it till the night comes
(Ooh, ba ba ba ba)
(Ooh, ba ba ba ba)

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you stay?
We'll put on the day
There's a sun show every second
(Ba ba ba ba)

[Post-Chorus]
Now the curtain opens
On a portrait of today
And the streets arе paved with passersby
And pigeons fly
And papеrs lie
A-waiting to blow away, mmm
(Ba ba ba ba)

[Verse 3]
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 sun poured in like butterscotch
And stuck to all my senses

[Chorus]
Oh, won't you stay?
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses
(Ba ba ba ba)
(Ooh, ba ba)
[Post-Chorus]
When the curtain closes
And the rainbow runs away
I will bring you incense owls by night
By candlelight
By jewel light
If only you will stay
Pretty baby, won't you
Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning
(Ooh, ba ba ba ba)
(Ooh, ba ba)
