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
