Sting - It Ain't Necessarily So lyrics

It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so. De 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 and dieth. Li'l David was small, but oh my. Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale, oh, Jonah, he ived 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 Ole Pharaoh's daughter She fished him, she says, from that stream. It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so. Dey tell all you chillun de debble's a villun But 'tain't necessarily so. To get into Hebben don't 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 nessa, ain't nessa, ain't nessa, ain't nessa, ain't necessarily so
