it ain't necessarily so
it ain't necessarily so
the things that yr liable
to read in the bible
well it ain't necessarily so

they say jonah 
he lived in a whale
they say jonah 
he lived in a whale
made his home 
in that fish's abdomen
hey wot a strange thing jonah 
he lived in that whale

moses was found in a stream
lil moses he was found in a stream
he floated on water 
till the pharoe's daughter
she fished him right 
out of that stream

it ain't necessarily so
it ain't necessarily so
they tell all them children
that the devil he's a villain
but it ain't necessarily so

david was small but O my
lil david he was small but O my
he stoned big goliath
who lay down there and die-eth
lil david he was small but Ohh my

So this is my bible story for you
but it ain't necessarily so
