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 old goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Little David was small but oh my.
Moses he was found in a stream
Moses was found in a stream
From that babbling brook
He was pulled with a hook,
Ye, Old Pharaoh's daughter, she's a dream.
To get into heaven,
Don't snap for a seven
Live clean, don't have no faults
I takes that gospel
whenever it's possible
But always 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 who's 900 years
Well it ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tells all yous children
The devil, he's a villain,
But it ain't necessarily so.
