Just a small request from this human to a god
Let me ask of you a favor, it 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
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
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
And I won�t run off to join Cirque de Soleil

Loan me some wings for a day
Loan me some wings for a day
Loan me some wings for a day
Loan me some wings for a day
I wouldn�t ask this of anybody else
I�m sure you sympathize
Cause you�re the one who made those lips
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 straight to her side
This time I�ll follow through
Oh, come on, 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
