Act II: It Ain’t Necessarily So
[Verse 1]
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 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Methuselah lived nine hundred yеars
But who calls that livin' when no gal'll give in
To no man who's nine hundrеd years?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Old Jonah, he lived in a whale
Old Jonah, he lived in a whale
For he made his home in that fish's abdomen
Old Jonah, he lived in a whale
[Verse 5]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
But who calls that livin' when no gal'll give in
To no man what's nine hundred years?
[Outro]
I'm preaching this sermon to show
It ain't necessarily, ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily so
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 2]
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
[Bridge]
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

Methuselah lived nine hundred yеars
But who calls that livin' when no gal'll give in
