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!
All:
Li'l' David was small, but oh my!
Sportin' Life:
He fought Big Goliath
Who lay down and dieth -
Li'l' David was small, but oh my!
Wadoo!

Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale

Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale.
Sportin' Life:
Fo' he made his home in
Dat fish's abdomen -
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale.
L'il' Moses was found in a stream

He floated on water
'Till Ole' Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she says from dat stream.

But 'tain't necessarily so.
To get into Hebbben
Don't snap fo' a sebben -
Live clean! Don' have no fault!
Oh, I takes dat gospel
Whenever it's pos'ple -
But wid a grain of salt!
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,
All:
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,
Sportin' Life:
But who calls dat livin'
When no gal'll 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 -
All:
It ain't necessarily so!
