It Ain't Necessarily So

It ain't necessarily so

It ain't necessarily so

The things that your liable

To read in the Bible,

It ain't necessarily so.

David was small, but oh my

Little David was small, but oh my

He fought Big Goliath

Who lay down an' dieth

David was small, but oh my

To get into Heaven

Don't snap for a sebben!

Live clean! Don' have no fault!

Oh, I takes that gospel

Whenever it's pos'ble,

With a grain of salt.

Oh Jonah, he lived in a whale,

Oh Jonah, he lived in a whale,

He made his home in

That fish's abdomen.

Oh Jonah, he lived in a whale.

Moses was found in a stream.

Little Moses was found in a stream.

He floated on water

Till Ol' Pharaoh's daughter,

She fished him, she said, from that stream.

To get into Heaven

Don't snap for a sebben!

Live clean! Don' have no fault!

Oh, I takes that gospel

Whenever it's pos'ble,

With a grain of salt.

It ain't necessarily so

Well it ain't necessarily so

They tells all you children

The devil's a villain,

But it ain't necessarily so!
