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
