歌曲歌詞
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
