It Ain't Necessarily 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 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, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa my

You've ever heard 'bout Jonah?

He lived in a whale

You've ever heard 'bout Jonah?

He lived, lived in a whale

And he made his home in that fish's 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 fault

And take me, yeah, 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 living

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 necessarily so

Ain't necessarily

Ain't necessarily

Ain't necessarily
