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.

 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.
