It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
Well, it ain't necessarily so
You know, little David was small but oh my
David was small but oh my
He fought big Goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Little David was small but oh my
… Jonah he lived in a whale
Jonah he lived in a whale, in the middle of the ocean
He made his home in that fish’s abdomen
Jonah he lived in a whale
… Baby Moses was found in a stream
Little baby Moses was found in a stream
Floated on water until old Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream
… It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all the children
That the devil's a villain
But it ain't necessarily so
To get into Heaven don't snap for a seven
Live clean, have no fault
I take that 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'll give in
To no man what's nine hundred years
I'm preachin' this sermon to show
It ain't nessa, ain't nessa
Ain't nessa, ain't nessa
It ain't necessarily so
