It Ain't Necessarily So

It ain't necessarily so

It ain't necessarily so

The things that you're liable

To read in the bible

Ain't necessarily soLittle David was small, but oh my

David was small, but oh my

He fought Goliath, who lie down and dieth

David was small, but oh myJonah, he lived in a whale

Now Jonah, he lived in a whale

Man made his home in that fish's abdomen

Jonah, he lived in a whaleLittle Moses was found in a stream

Little Moses was found in a stream

He floated on water 'till ole Pharaoh's daughter

She fished him, she said, from that streamMethuselah lived nine hundred years

Methuselah lived nine hundred years

Who calls that living when no gal will give in to no man

What's nine hundred yearsIt ain't necessarily so

It ain't necessarily so

The things that you're liable

To read in the bible

Ain't necessarily so
