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.

Little David was small but, oh my!
Little David was small but, oh my!
He fought big Goliath
Who lay down and dieth
David was small but, oh my!

Jonah, he lived in a whale
Jonah, he lived in a whale
He made his home in
That fish's abdomen
Jonah, he lived in a whale

Little Moses was found on a stream
Little Moses was found on a stream
He floated on water
Till Ol' Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
To tell all the chillin'
The devil's a villain
It ain't necessarily so.

To get into heaven,
Don't snap for a seven
Live clean, have no faults
I take the gospel
Whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt

Methuselah lived 900 years
Methuselah lived 900 years
But who calls that livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man what is 900 years

I'm preaching this sermon to show
It ain't necessari-
It ain't necessari-
It ain't necessarily so
