That's All the Lumber You Sent Full Lyrics

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" "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" "St. Peter, if you can" "Send me back, to earth again" "Is that somethin', you can do?" Pete said, "Well 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 gigantic pile, of wood" "And I'd say, what's this I see?" "You'd tell me" "That's all the lumber, all that's your lumber" "That's all the lumber, you sent" "Big Boss, will help you hammer it, all together" "That's all the lumber, you sent, oh" "That's all the lumber, all that's your lumber" "That's all the lumber, you sent" "Big Boss, will help you hammer it, all together" "That's all the lumber, you sent"
