The t'ings that yo' li'ble
To read in the Bible

[Verse 1]
Now David was small, but oh my!
Li'l David was small, but oh my!
He fought Big Goliath
Who lay down to dieth!
David was small, but oh my!

[Hook]
To get into Heaven
Don' snap for a seven
Live clean!
Forget your faults
I take the gospel
Whenever I'm able
But with a grain of salt

[Verse 2]
Now Jonah, he lived in a whale
Jonah, he lived in de whale
He made his home in
A fish's abdomen
Jonah, he lived in a whale
(Jamie Scatting/ Musical Solo)

[Hook]
To get into Heaven
Don' snap for a seven
Live clean!
Forget your faults
I take the gospel
Whenever I'm able
But with a grain of salt

[Verse 3]
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Who calls dat livin'?
When no gal will give in
To no man what's nine hundred years ?

[Chorus]
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're li'ble
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so

(Jamie Scatting)
Ain't necessarily so
Ain't necessarily so
(Jamie Scatting)

Ain't necessarily so
