Lyrics
This is another morning, rainbow, love sunshine song This one takes place in the city so it's a little A little bit noisier It's all about living in the Chelsea district of New York Which was really a nice place to live until Andy Warhol made a movie 'bout Chelsea girls And gives us all a bad reputation 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 Oh, 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 curtain And a rainbow on the wall Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you Crimson crystal beads to beckon Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on the day There's a sun show every second Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today And the streets are paved with passer-by And pigeons fly, and papers lie Waiting to blow away 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 Oh, won't you stay, we'll put on the day And we'll talk in present tenses 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
