It aint necessarily so, it aint necessarily so
De tings dat yo lible to read in de bible
It aint necessarily so
Lil david was small, but oh my
Lil david was small, but oh my
He fought big goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Lil david was small, but oh my
Oh, jonah, he lived in de whale
Oh, jonah, he lived in de whale
Fo he made his home in dat fishs abdomen
Oh, jonah, he lived in de whale
Lil moses was found in a stream
Lil moses was found in a stream
He floated on water
Til ole pharoahs daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream
It aint necessarily so, it aint necessarily so
Dey tell all you chillun de debbles a villun
But it aint necessarily so.
To get into hebben dont snap for a sebben
Live clean, don have no fault
Oh, I takes dat gospel
Whenever its posble
But wid a grain of salt
Methuslah lived nine hundred years
Methuslah lived nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin
When no gal will give in
To no man whats nine hundred years?
Im preachin dis sermon to show
It aint nessa, aint nessa, aint nessa, aint nessa
Aint necessarily so.
