It Aint Necessarily So by Maxine Sullivan 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

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!

Zim bam boddle-oo
Hoodle ah da wa da
Scatty wah
Scatty wah

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
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 that stream

Zim bam boddle-oo
Hoodle ah da wa da
Scatty wah
Scatty wah

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tells all you 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 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 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!
