It ain`t necessarily so, it ain`t necessarily so
De t`ings dat yo` li`ble to read in de Bible
It ain`t necessarily so
Li`l David was small, but oh my
Li`l David was small, but oh my
He fought big Goliath
who lay down and dieth
Li`l David was small, but oh my
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
Fo` he made his home in dat fish`s abdomen
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
Li`l Moses was found in a stream
Li`l Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water
Til Ole Pharoah`s daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream
It ain`t necessarily so, it ain`t necessarily so
Dey tell all you chillun de debble`s a villun
But it ain`t necessarily so.
To get into Hebben don`t 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 dat livin`
when no gal will give in
To no man what`s nine hundred years?
I`m preachin` dis sermon to show
It ain`t nessa, ain`t nessa, ain`t nessa, ain`t nessa
Ain`t necessarily so.
