Porgy and Bess the Musical - It Ain't Necessarily So Lyrics

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
De things dat yo' liable to read in de Bible
It ain't necessarily so

Li'l David was small but oh my
Li'l David was small but oh my
He fought big Goliath who lay down and dieth
Li'l David was small but oh my

Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
For he made his home in dat fish's abdomen
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale

Li'l Moses was found in a stream
Li'l Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water 'til ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him she says from that stream

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
Dey tell all you chillun de debble's a villain
But 'taint necessarily so

To get into Hebben don' snap for a sebben
Live clean, don' have no fault
Oh I takes de gospel whenever it's pos'ble
But wid a grain of salt

Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
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
It ain't necessarily so

Porgy and Bess the Musical Lyrics

SYNOPSIS
Summertime
A Woman is a Sometime Thing
My Man's Gone Now
It Take a Long Pull to Get There
I Got Plenty o' Nuttin
Buzzard Keep on Flying
Bess, You Is My Woman Now
Oh, I Can't Sit Down
It Ain't Necessarily So
What you want wid Bess
Oh, Doctor Jesus
I Loves You, Porgy
A Red-Haired Woman
There's a Boat Dat's Leavin' Soon for New York
Bess, O Where's My Bess?
O Lawd, I'm On My Way
