Ain’t Necessarily So Songtext
von Andy Bey

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
Fought big Goliath who laid down and died
Little David was small, but oh my

Jonah, he lived in a whale
Oh, Jonah, he lived in a whale
For he made his home in that fish's abdomen
Oh, Jonah, Jonah, Jonah, Jonah
He lived in a whale

Moses was found in a stream
Moses was found in a stream
He floated on the water
Until old Pharaoh′s daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream


Say that it ain′t necessarily so
Say that it ain't necessarily so
Tell all your chilluns
The devil′s a villain
It ain't necessarily so

To get into heaven
Don′t snap for a seven
Live clean
Don't have no faults
′Cause I takes that gospel
Whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt

Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Yeah, Methuselah lived nine, nine hundred years
Say, but what good is livin'
What good is livin′
When no girl won′t give in
To no man, no man, no man
That's nine hundred years
Won′t give in to no man that's nine hundred years
Won′t give in to no man that's nine hundred years


I′m preachin'
Preachin', preach, preachin′ my sermon to show
That it ain′t, that it ain't, that it ain′t necessarily so
Preachin'
That it ain′t, that it ain't, that it ain′t necessarily so
That it ain't, ain't

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
I′m, I′m preachin' my sermon to show
It ain′t necess
Ain't necess
Ain′t necess
Ain't necess
Ain′t necessarily so
Thank you very much, thank you
