It Ain't Necessarily So [Transliteration]
It Ain't Necessarily So [Transliteration]
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 Big Goliath
Who laid down and died!
Little David was small, but oh my!
Wadoo, zim bam boddle-oo,
Hoodle ah da wa da,
Scatty wah!
Oh yeah!
Oh 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, he lived in a 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.
Wadoo...
Well, it ain't necessarily so
Well, it ain't necessarily so
They tell all you(r) children
The devil's a villain,
But it ain't necessarily so!
To get into Heaven
Don't snap for a seven!
Live clean ! Don't have no fault!
Oh, 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 girl will give in
To a man who is nine hundred years?
I'm preaching this sermon to show,
It ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't necessarily... so!
