October 10th – Porgy and Bess premieres on Broadway – “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.

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

Oh jonah he lived in a whale
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
He made his home in
That fishes abdomen
Oh jonah he lived in a whale

To get into heaven, don’t snap for a seven
Live clean forget your faults
I take 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
