Lyrics
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.
