It Ain't Necessarily So Songtext
von Maxine Sullivan

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
He fought old Goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Little David was small, but oh my

Zim bam boddle-oo
Hoo lotte wow da
Scatawag, scatawag

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


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

Zim bam boddle-oo
Hoo lotte wow da
Scatawag, scatawag

It ain′t necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all you children
The devil′s a villain
It ain't necessarily so

Two bad ends to heaven
Don′t snap for a seven
Live clean, have no faults
For I take that 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 living
When no gal will give in
To no man what′s nine hundred years


I'm preaching this sermon to show
It ain't nessa, ain′t nessa
Ain′t nessa, ain't nessa
Ain′t necessarily so
