It Ain't Necessarily So Lyrics

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that your preacher
Is liable to teach ya
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 my

Oh, yes, Jonah, he lived in de whale
Yes, Jonah, he lived in de whale
Now he made his home in
Dat fish's abdomen
Yes, Jonah, he lived in de whale

Li'l Moses was found in the stream
Li'l Moses was found in the stream
He floated on water
Till Ol' Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she said, from dat stream

Oh, yes, Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin'
When no one will give in
To no man what's nine hundred years

I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
It ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't necessarily so
