It Ain't Necessarily So

It ain't necessarily so

It ain't necessarily so

The things that yo' liable to read in the 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 die-eth

Li'l David was small but oh my



Oh Jonah he lived in a whale

Oh Jonah he lived in a whale

For he made his home in dat fish's abdomen

Oh Jonah he lived in a whale



Li'l Moses was found in a stream

Li'l Moses was found in a stream



He floated on water 'til ole Pharaoh's daughter

She fished him she says from that stream



It ain't necessarily so

Ain't necessarily so!

Dey tell all you chillun that debble's a villain

But ain't necessarily so



Methus'lah lived nine hundred years

Methus'lah lived nine hundred years

But who calls dat livin' when no gal'll give in

To no man whose nine hundred years



It ain't necessarily so

It ain't necessarily so
