It Ain't Necessarily So

It ain't necessarily so

(It ain't necessarily so)

The things that you're 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 die-eth

Little David was small, but, oh my

Wadoo

(Wadoo)

Scaddy-wah

(Scaddy-wah)

Oh Jonah, he lived in the whale

(Oh Jonah, he lived in a whale)

For the 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

'Til old Pharoah's daughter

She fished him, she says, from that stream, huh

Wadoo

(Wadoo)

Scaddy-wah

(Scaddy-wah)

Scaddy-wah

Yeah, it ain't necessarily so

(It ain't necessarily so)

Man, they tell all you chillun

The devil's a villain

But, it ain't 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

Methus'lah lived nine hundred years

(Methus'lah lived nine hundred years)

But, who calls that livin'

When no gal will give in

To one man what's nine hundred years?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I'm preachin' this sermon to show

Hm-mm

It ain't nece', ain't nece'

Ain't nece', mm-hmm-hmm, ain't nece'

Ain't necessarily so
