Angel John
1.
John was an ordinary run of the mill,
Salt of the earth type of man
Till one day an Angel of the Lord came down before him
And said John, you must now understand
A mistake was made up in Heaven above
And you were born down here on earth
Truly, you are an Angel of God,
Except for the place of your birth
He said; you are, he said, you are
An Angel of the Lord
Chorus:
A star struck full grown Angel
I should not be here, no I should not be here
A star struck full grown Angel
Please take me away, for I cannot stay

John got in touch with Mission Control
He said Houston we have a problem I fear
Truly I am an Angel of God
And really I should not be here
Can you fix me a lift on your next shuttle trip
If not an old rocket will do
Get me any old how up to heaven above
And I?ll be so grateful to you
He said; I am, he said, I am
An Angel of the Lord
Chorus:
A star struck full grown Angel
I should not be here, no I should not be here
A star struck full grown Angel
Please take me away, for I cannot stay
So Houston took John in an old yellow van
To a place where the Astronuts train
There they took him for walks and they took him for talks
Then they took him for walks once again
And John was quite happy except at full moon,
When he would quite often relapse
Then they?d dress him up in an Astronut suit
All covered in buckles and straps
He?d cry out; I am, he?d cry
I am, an Angel of the Lord
Chorus:
A star struck full grown Angel
I should not be here, no I should not be here
A star struck full grown Angel
Please take me away, for I cannot stay

I?m Angel John and I should not be here
I?m Angel John and I should not be here
I?m Angel John and I should not be here
