The Lumber Song Testo

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:
(chrous:)
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
Man said: You mean not lie and cheat
And helpin' old ladies across the street?
Pete said: 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
(chorus)
What if that man was me
And I'd 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
Man 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 of wood
And I'd say : What's this I see? -
And you'd tell me :
That's all the lumber - all that's your lumber
That's all the lumber you sent
Well the Big Boss'll help you
Hammer it all together
That's all the lumber you sent (x2)
