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 say:

"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 ot say
Poor guy was blown away
Said: "You mean this is what I deserve?
Pete said: "I'm afraid it's so
't's too late but now you know
Shoulda done better work
Said: "You mean not lie and cheat
And helpin' old ladies 'cross 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
Build 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!

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 given'est guy I can be
And when I get back to this neighborhood
There'd be a gigantic pile o' wood!
And I'd say: "What's this I see?" --
and you tell me

"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
