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

And rapping up like pipes and drums

Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day

And we'll wear it 'till the night comes

Crimson crystal beads to beckon

Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
