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 died
Little David was small but oh my
Oh Jonah he lived in the whale
Oh Jonah he lived in the whale
For he made his home in that fish's abdomen
Oh Jonah he lived in the whale
Little Moses was found in a stream
Little Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water 'til one Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him she says from that stream
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all you chill the debble's a villain
But it ain't necessarily so
To get into Hebben don' snap for a sebben
Live clean, don' have no fault
Oh I takes dat gospel whenever it's pos'ble
But wid a grain of salt
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
But who calls that 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
It ain't necessarily so
