It Ain't Necessarily So - Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong


It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that your liable to read in de 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

Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
For he made his home in dat fish abdomen
Oh Jonah he lived in de 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

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
THey tell all the 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 de gospel whenever it's pos'ble
But with a grain of salt

Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
But who calls that livin' when no gal is give in
To no man what's nine hundred years

I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
It ain't nessarily, ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily so
