[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Jonah, he lived in a whale
I said, Jonah, he lived in a whale
He made his home in that fish's abdomen
Hey, what a strange thing
Jonah, he lived in the whale
Well

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 2]
Moses was found in a stream
Lil' Moses, he was found in a stream
He floated on water
Till Pharaoh's daughter, hey
She fished him right out of that stream

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
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
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
They tell all them children
That the devil, he's a villain
Hey, but it ain't necessarily so

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
David was small, but oh my!
Lil' David, he was small, but oh my!
He fought Big Goliath
Who laid down there and dieth, yeah
Lil' David was small, but oh my!

[Outro]
This is my Bible story for you, but
It ain't necessarily so
