(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ooo-ooo,)

He took a hundred pounds of clay,
And they He said, "Hey, listen.
I'm gonna fix this a-world today,
Because I know what's missin'."
Then He rolled his big sleeves up,
And a brand new world began.
He created a woman and-a-ah lots
Of lovin' for a man.
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did.

With just a hundred pounds of clay,
He made my life worth livin'.
And I will thank Him every day,
For every kiss you're givin'.
And I'll thank Him every night,
For the arms that are holdin' me tight.
And He did it all with just
A hundred pounds of clay.
Yes he did, whoa-oh, yes He did.

Now can'tcha just see Him a-walkin',
'Round and 'round,
Pickin' the clay uppa off the ground?
Doin' just what He should do,

He rolled His big sleeves up,
And a brand new world began.
He created a woman and-a lots
Of lovin' for a man.
Whoa-oh-oh, yes he did.
With just a hundred pounds of clay.
Fade
People, let me tall ya what He did,
With just a hundred pounds of clay.
