Verse

Just a small request from this human to a god.

Let me ask you a favor that might seem a little odd,

I'm at a loss

I need to cross the ocean wide and I need to do it soon,

Like tomorrow afternoon

If that's okay,

Loan me some wings for a day.

Loan me some wings for a day.

Verse

They don't need to be Angel's wings, I'm sure they're in demand

Something better than a chicken or a penguin would be grand.

I just can't wait

She's set the date to marry him and it really should be me,

Which explains the urgency,

I can't delay

Loan me some wings for a day.

Loan me some wings for a day.

Verse

I promise I won't use them for a daredevil career,

I won't buzz the White House, or race seagulls at the pier

I won't get caught

Doing naughty things with pigeons

Or cropdusting in Des Moines

I won't run off to join,

Cirque de Soleil

Loan me some wings for a day.

Loan me some wings for a day.

Instrumental

PLAY VERSE CHORDS

Loan me some wings for a day.

Loan me some wings for a day.

Break

I wouldn't ask this of anybody else, I'm sure you sympathize

'Cause you're the one who made those lips, and put the sparkle in her eyes,

It's not your fault I said the things I said

I don't blame you for making me a fool

But with these wings I'll fly right to her side

This time I'll follow through

Ah, c'mon' God I'd do the same for you

Just a small request from this human to a god.

Before she throws that last bouquet

Loan me some wings for a day.

Loan me some wings for a day.

Loan me some wings for a day.
