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

(intro)

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

Said: You mean not lie and cheat

And helpin' old ladies across the street

Pete says: 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 failed that miserably

You're showin' me things I don't wanna see

(intro)

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

Said: I'd love God and fellow man

Take a wife and make a stand

Be the givinest guy I can be

And when I get back to this neighborhood

There'd be a big gigantic pile of wood

And I'd say: What's this I see --You'd tell me

That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber

That's all the lumber you sent

Big boss'll help you hammer it all together

That's all the lumber you sent

That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber

That's all the lumber you sent

Big boss'll help you hammer it all together

That's all the lumber you sent
