Lyrics
1:50It ain't necessarily so
1:57It ain't necessarily so
2:03The things that you liable to read in the Bible
2:09It ain't necessarily so
2:18Little David was small but oh my
2:25Little David was small but oh my
2:31He fought big goliath who lay down and dieth
2:38Little David was small but oh my
3:09Is Jonah lived in the whale
3:15Oh Jonah he lived in the whale
3:22For he made his home in that fish's abdomen
3:29Oh Jonah he lived in the whale
3:38Little Moses was found in a stream
3:45Little Moses was found in a stream
3:51He floated on water till old Pharaoh's daughter
3:58She fished him she says from that stream
4:23It ain't necessarily so
4:30It ain't necessarily so
4:35They tell all the children the devil's a villain
4:41But taint necessarily so
4:48To get into heaven don't snap for a seven
4:54Live clean don't have no fault
5:01Oh I takes that gospel whenever it's possible
5:07But with a grain of salt
5:14Methuselah lived nine hundred years
5:21Methuselah lived nine hundred years
5:27But who calls that living when no gal'll give in
5:33To no man what's nine hundred years
6:04I'm preaching this sermon to show
6:11It ain't necessarily ain't necessarily
6:16Ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so It ain't necessarily so The things that you 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 Little David was small but oh my Is Jonah lived in the whale Oh Jonah he lived in the whale For he made his home in that fish's abdomen Oh Jonah he lived in the whale Little Moses was found in a stream Little Moses was found in a stream He floated on water till old Pharaoh's daughter She fished him she says from that stream It ain't necessarily so It ain't necessarily so They tell all the children the devil's a villain But taint necessarily so To get into heaven don't snap for a seven Live clean don't have no fault Oh I takes that gospel whenever it's possible But with a grain of salt Methuselah lived nine hundred years Methuselah lived nine hundred years But who calls that living when no gal'll give in To no man what's nine hundred years I'm preaching this sermon to show It ain't necessarily ain't necessarily Ain't necessarily so
