Aretha Franklin - 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
Now 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, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa my
You've ever heard 'bout Jonah?
He lived in a whale
You've ever heard 'bout Jonah?
And he made 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, yeah, take that gospel
Whenever it's possible
But with a little grain of salt
Methuselah lived 900 years
Methuselah lived 9,900 years
But tell me who, who calls that living
When no gal is given to no man
What's 900 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

God BLess her sweet sweet soul...….RIP. Tears aflowin'.
The Queen!! But an odd song for a singer with roots in the church-going Gospel-singing community to be indulging! This was one of my favourite songs as a little girl (Normie Rowe version—big hit in Australia in the 60s). But Aretha, once again, does this like no other!
thought the same thing.
Porgy and Bess! <3

Did someone read the Torah for real? How can one live inside of the stomach of a wale?
It wasnt a whale
This is what we call a symbolic tale. Don't focus on a whale ´s stomach but on the meaning of being in darkness, lost and as good as dead before finding freedom, light and Truth.
I think it emerges from misspelling the word "Nineveh", which apparently is spelled similarly to the word "fish" in Aramaic.
@p. Binx Oh it was different big fish. Totally explains it.
Sweet voice.
love is track thank for the sharing
....Yup!
Many artists have attempted this song, but Aretha does it justice.
I'm doin' a parody version of this tune, entitled
"It Is Most Probably Quite So,"
BUT needed to "Hear" the scat bit
