Heard this George Gershwin song many times before I gave ear to the lyrics and to my surprise it refers to that book called the bible.


"It Ain't Necessarily So"

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.

Moses was found on a stream
Moses was found on a stream
He floated on water
Till Ol' Pharaoh's daughter,
Fished him she says from that stream

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

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
