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
The Queen!! But an odd song for a singer with roots in the church-going Gospel-singing community to be indulging! This was one of my favourite songs as a little girl (Normie Rowe version—big hit in Australia in the 60s). But Aretha, once again, does this like no other!
