Said a friend to a friend one day: Was a man who passed away St.Peter met him at the gate Pete said: Walk with me if you will I'll take you to the house you built Man said: I can't wait Passed a mansion made of stone But with each new house he's shown They get smaller by degrees Stopped in front of a two room shack Pete said: Hope you're happy with that Man said: How can this be? Pete said: That's all the lumber, that's all the lumber, That's all the lumber you sent Looks like the builder, man He's got your number That's all the lumber you sent Man didn't know what to say Poor guy was blown away Said: You mean this is what I deserve? Pete said: I'm afraid it's so It's too late but now you know Shoulda done better work Man said: You mean not lie and cheat And helpin' old ladies across the street? Pete said: Well, that's a start Remember that man back in that great big house? He found out early what it's all about Built that place with his heart - as for you That's all the lumber, that's all the lumber, That's all the lumber you sent Looks like the builder, man He's got your number That's all the lumber you sent What if that man was me And I'd failed that miserably You're showin' me things I don't wanna see St. Peter if you can send me back to earth again Is that somethin' you can do? Pete said: It ain't up to me If it was I'd like to see How you plan to improve Man said: I'd love God and fellow man Take a wife and make a stand Be the givin'est guy I can be And when I get back to this neighborhood There'd be a gigantic pile of wood And I'd say : What's this I see? And you'd tell me : That's all the lumber - all that's your lumber That's all the lumber you sent Well the Big Boss'll help you Hammer it all together That's all the lumber you sent That's all the lumber you sent
