Lyrics

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 lay down and dieth
Little David was small, but oh my
Wadoo (Wadoo)
Zim bam boodle-oo (Zim bam boodle-oo)
Hoodle ah da wa da (Hoodle ah da wa da)
Scatty wah (Scatty wah)
Yeah!
Oh 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
'Til old Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she says, from that stream
Wadoo (Wadoo)
Zim bam boodle-oo (Zim bam boodle-oo)
Hoodle ah da wa da (Hoodle ah da wa da)
Scatty wah (Scatty wah)
Yeah!
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all you children
The devil's a villain
But 'tain'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
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
But who calls that livin'
When no gal'll 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!
