Brian Wilson It Ain't Necessarily So lyrics

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

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' snap for a sabbath
Live clean, don' have no fault
I take that gospel whenever it's possible
With a grain of salt

Jonah he lived in a whale
Oh, Jonah he lived in a whale
He made his home in that fish's abdomen
Oh, Jonah he lived in a whale


Moses was found in a stream
Little Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water 'til ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she said from that stream

To get into Heaven don' snap for a sabbath
Live clean, don' have no fault
Oh, I take that gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt

It ain't necessarily so
Well, it ain't necessarily so
They tell all you children the devil's a villain
It ain't necessarily so
