Gershwin George It Ain T Necessarily So lyrics

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 !

Wadoo, zim bam boddle-oo,
Hoodle ah da wa da,
Scatty wah !
Oh yeah !...

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.

Wadoo ...

Well, it ain`t necessarily so
Well, it ain`t necessarily so
Dey tells all you chillun
De debble`s a villun,
But it ain`t necessarily so !

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 !
