Eli - The Lumber Song lyrics

Said a friend to a friend one day: I was a man who pa**ed 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!" Pa**ed 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 to say The 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 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 givin'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 - all that's your lumber That's all the lumber you sent Big Boss'll help you hammer it all together That's all the lumber you sent"
