It Ain't Nessesary So - Aretha Franklin

It ain’t necessarily so

It ain’t necessarily so

De things that yo' liable

To read in the Bible

It ain’t necessarily so

Now li’l 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 my

Did you ever hear about Jonah?

Helived in a whale

You ever heard about Jonah?

He lived

Lived in a whale

And he laid 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

Oh I takes dat gospel

Whenever it’s pos’ble

But with a little grain of salt

Methus’lah lived

Nine hundred years

Methus’lah lived life

Nine hundred years

But tell me who

Who calls that livin'

When no gal’ll give in

To no man

What’s nine hundred 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

Ain’t necessarily

Ain’t necessarily so
