It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so
Little David was small but oh my
Little David was small but oh my
He fought big Goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Little David was small but oh my
To get into Heaven don't snap for a seven
Live clean, don't have no fault
I takes dat gospel
Whenever it's pos'ble
But with a grain of salt
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man who's nine hundred years
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
For he made his home in dat fish's abdomen
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
Little Moses was found in a stream
Little Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water
Till ole Pharoah's daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream
To get into Heaven don't snap for a seven
Live clean, don't have no fault
I takes dat gospel
Whenever it's pos'ble
But with a grain of salt
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man what's nine hundred years?
I'm preachin' this sermon to show
It ain't necessarily, ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily so
