It Ain't Necessarily So Lyrics

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The tings that you're liable to read in the bible
It ain't necessarily so.
Uavid was small but oh my
David was small but oh my.
He shot Goliath
Who lay down and dieth.
David was small but oh my
David was small but oh my.
Jonah
He lived in a whale
Jonah
He lived in a whale.
He made his home in that fishes abdomen.
Jonah
He lived in a whale
Tonah
He lived in a whale.
Moses was found on a stream
Moses was found on a stream.
Floated on water old Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream.
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all your children
The devil
He's a villain
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so.
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
Things that you're liable to read in that bible
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily so.

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The tings that you're liable to read in the bible
It ain't necessarily so.
Uavid was small but oh my
David was small but oh my.
He shot Goliath
Who lay down and dieth.
David was small but oh my
David was small but oh my.
Jonah
He lived in a whale
Jonah
He lived in a whale.
He made his home in that fishes abdomen.
Jonah
He lived in a whale
Tonah
He lived in a whale.
Moses was found on a stream
Moses was found on a stream.
Floated on water old Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream.
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all your children
The devil
He's a villain
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so.
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
Things that you're liable to read in that bible
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily
It ain't necessarily so.
