It ain't necessarily so.
It ain't necessarily so.
The things that you're li'ble
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!
(scatting)
Yes! Jonah, he lived in de whale.
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale.
For he made his home in
Dat fish abdomen.
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale.
Li'l Moses was found in de stream.
Little Moses was found in de stream.
He floated on water
Till Ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream.
(scatting)
It ain't necessarily so.
It ain't necessarily so.
They tell all the children
The debble's a villain
But 'tain't necessarily so.
To get into Hebben,
Don't snap for a sebben!
Live clean. Don' have no fault.
Oh, I takes 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 that livin'
When no gal'll give in
To no man what's nine hundred years?
I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
It ain't necessarily, ain't necessarily, ain't necessarily so.
