Act II: It Ain't Necessarily So (feat. Sting)

It ain't necessarily so It ain't necessarily so The t'ings dat yo' li'ble To read in de Bible, It ain't necessarily so. Li'l David was small, but oh my! Li'l David was small, but oh my! He fought Big Goliath Who lay down an' dieth! Li'l David was small, but oh my! To get into Hebben Don' snap for a sebben! Live clean! Don' have no fault! Oh, I takes dat gospel Whenever it's pos'ble, But wid a grain of salt. Methus'lah lived nine hundred years, Methus'lah lived nine hundred years, But who calls dat livin' When no gal will give in To no man what's nine hundred years? Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale, Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale, Fo' he made his home in Dat fish's abdomen. Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale. Li'l Moses was found in a stream. Li'l Moses was found in a stream. He floated on water Till Ol' Pharaoh's daughter, She fished him, she said, from dat stream. To get into Hebben Don' snap for a sebben! Live clean! Don' have no fault! Oh, I takes dat gospel Whenever it's pos'ble, But wid a grain of salt. Methus'lah lived nine hundred years, Methus'lah lived nine hundred years, But who calls dat livin' When no gal will give in To no man what's nine hundred years? I'm preachin' dis sermon to show, It ain't nece-ain't nece Ain't nece-ain't nece Ain't necessarily ... so!
