Lyrics It Ain't Necessarely So - Aretha Franklin

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 little David was small but oh my
Yes David was small but oh my
He fought big Goliath
Who lay-lay down and dieth
Yes David was small but oh-oh-oh-oh oh my
Have you ever heard about Jonah?
He lived in a whale
Have you ever heard about Jonah?
He lived-lived in a whale
And he made his home
In that fishes abdomen
Yes Jonah he lived in a whale
To get into heaven, don't snap for a seven
Live clean and don't have no faults
Now take me
I take that gospel whenever it's possible
But with a little grain of salt
Methuselah lived 900 years
Methuselah lived 9-900 years
But tell me who
Who calls that livin'
When no gal is given
To no man what's 900 years
That's why I say that it ain't
It ain't necessarily
It ain't (no!) necessarily
It ain't
It ain't necessarily so
Ain't necessarily so
Ain't, ain't, ain't necessarily so
Ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily
Ain't necessarily so
