Lyrics: It aint necessarily so It aint necessarily so De tings dat yo lible To read in de Bible It aint necessarily so Lil David was small, but oh my Lil David was small but oh my He fought big Goliath Who lay down and dieth Lil David was small, but oh my Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale Fo he made his home in Dat fishs abdomen Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale Lil Moses was found in a stream Lil Moses was found in a stream He floated on water Till Ole Pharaohs daughter She fished him, she says from dat stream It aint necessarily so It aint necessarily so Dey tell all you chillun De Debbles a villum But t aint necessarily so To get into heaven Dont snap fo a sebben Live clean! Dont have no fault Oh, I takes dat Gospel Whenever its posble But wid a grain of salt Methuslah lived nine hundred years Methuslah lived nine hundred years But who calls dat livin When no galll give in To no man whats nine hundred years Im preachin dis sermon to show It aint nessa, aint nessa It aint necessarily so! |
