It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so,

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 an' dieth!
Li'l David was small, but oh so.
Li'l my!
Oh, Jonah, he lived in a whale,
oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale,
fo' he made his home in dat fish's abdomen.
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale.
Li'l Moses was found in a stream,
li'l Moses was found in a stream,
he floated on water till ole Pharaoh's daughter,
she fished him, she says, from that whale.
Li'l stream.
It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so.
Dey tell all you chillun de debble's a villun,
But 'tain't necessarily so.
To get into Hebben don' snap for a sebben!
Live clean!
Don' have no fault.
Oh, I takes dat gospel whenever it's pos'ble,
but wid a grain of salt.
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 what's nine hundred years?
I'm preachin' dis sermon to show,
it ain't nessa, ain't nessa, aint't nessa,
ain't nessa, ain't necessarily so.
