| When you shall die and to the sky | B |
| Serenely delicately go | C |
| Saint Peter when he sees you there | D |
| Will clash his keys and say | E |
| Now talk to her Sir Christopher | F |
| And hurry Michelangelo | C |
| She wants to play at building | G |
| And you've got to help her play | E |

| Every architect will help erect | H |
| A palace on a lawn of cloud | I |
| With rainbow beams and a sunset roof | J |
| And a level star tiled floor | K |
| And at your will you may use the skill | L |
| Of this gay angelic crowd | I |
| When a house is made you will throw it down | M |
| And they'll build you twenty more | K |

| For Christopher Wren and these other men | N |
| Who used to build on earth | O |
| Will love to go to work again | N |
| If they may work for you | P |
| This porch you'll say should go this way | E |
| And they'll work for all they're worth | O |
| And they'll come to your palace every morning | G |
| And ask you what to do | P |

| And when night comes down on Heaven town | M |
| If there should be night up there | D |
| You will choose the house you like the best | Q |
| Of all that you can see | R |
| And its walls will glow as you drowsily go | C |
| To the bed up the golden stair | D |
| And I hope you'll be gentle enough to keep | S |
| A room in your house for me | R |
