[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Little David was small, but, oh, my
Little David was small, but, oh, my
He fought big Goliath who laid down and dieth
Little David was small, but, oh, my
[Verse 3]
Yes, Jonah, he lived in the whale
Oh, Jonah, he lived in the whale
Oh, he made his home in that fish abdomen
Oh, Jonah, he lived in the whale
[Verse 4]
Little Moses was found in the stream
Little Moses was found in the stream
He floated on water till ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream
[Verse 5]
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all the children the Devil's a villain
But that ain't necessarily so
[Verse 6]
To get into Heaven, don't snap for a seven
Live clean, don't have no fault
Oh, I take that Gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt
[Verse 7]
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Mmm, sing it, Ella
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Mmm, old was he
But who calls that livin' when no gal'll give in to no man?
What's nine hundred years?
[Verse 8]
Now I'm preachin' this sermon to show
It ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily so
