It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so
The things that you 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 just lay down and died
Little David was small but, oh my

Li'l Moses was found in a stream
Li'l Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water, 'til ol' Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream

It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so
The things that you liable to read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so

To get into Heaven
Don't snap for a seven
Live clean, don' have no fault
Oh, I takes the gospel
Whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt

Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
But who calls that livin', when no gal will give in
To no man what's nine hundred years
