It Ain't Necessarily So

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 ived 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 till 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 'tain'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
