It Ain't Necessarily So - from Porgy and Bess

Lyrics

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.
 Now David was small but oh my
 Little David was small but oh my
 He fought big Goliath
 Who lay down and dieth
 David was small but oh my.
 To get into heaven, don't snap for a second
 Live clean forget your faults
 I take the gospel whenever it's possible
 But with a grain of salt
 Oh Jonah he lived in a whale
 Oh Jonah he lived in a whale
 He made his home in
 That fishes abdomen
 Oh Jonah he lived in a whale
 To get into heaven, don't snap for a seven
 Live clean forget your faults
 I take gospel whenever it's possible
 But with a grain of salt
 Methuselah lived 900 years
 Methuselah lived 900 years
 Who calls that livin'
 When no gal will give in
 To no man what's 900 years
 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.
 Ain't necessarily so
 Ain't necessarily so
 Ain't necessarily so
