It Ain't Necessarily So Songtext
von George Chakiris

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
Yeah, David was small but oh my
He fought big Goliath who lay low and die-ath
David was small but oh my

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


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

Oh, it ain't necessarily so
It ain′t necessarily so
They tell all you chillun the devil's a villain
But 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

Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Yeah, Methuselah lived nine hundred years
But who calls that livin' with no gal to give in
To no man what′s nine hundred years

It ain′t necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
It ain′t
