George Gershwin
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

Well Moses was found in a stream
Moses was found in a stream
Then ol' Pharaoh's daughter, who played near the water
She fished Moses out of that stream

Hey!

Ooh David was small, but oh my
David was small, but oh my
It was Goliath who lay down and dieth
Yeah, David was small, but oh my

Well Jonah, he lived in a whale
Oh Jonah, he lived in a whale
For he made his home in
That fish's abdomen
Yeah Jonah, he lived in a whale

And it ain't necessarily so
I said it ain't necessarily so
The things that your preacher is liable to teach ya
It ain't necessarily so
Hey!
