Cab Calloway - It Ain't Necessarily So текст песни

Sportin' life:
It ain’t necessarily so All:
It ain’t necessarily so Sportin' life:
De t’ings dat yo li’ble
To read in de Bible —
It ain’t necessarily so Li’l' david was small, but oh my!
All:
Li’l' david was small, but oh my!
Sportin' life:
He fought big goliath
Who lay down and dieth —
Li’l' david was small, but oh my!
Wadoo!

Oh jonah, he lived in de whale
All:
Oh jonah, he lived in de whale
Sportin' life:
Fo' he made his home in Dat fish’s abdomen —
Oh jonah, he lived in de whale
L’il' moses was found in a stream
All:
L’il' moses was found in a stream
Sportin' life:
He floated on water
'till ole' pharaoh’s daughter
She fished him, she says from dat stream
Wadoo!

It ain’t necessarily so All:
It ain’t necessarily so Sportin' life:
Dey tell all you chillun
De debble’s a villun
But 'tain't necessarily so To get into hebbben
Don’t snap fo' a sebben —
Live clean! don' have no fault!
Oh, I takes dat gospel
Whenever it’s pos’ple —
But wid a grain of salt!
Methus’lah lived nine hundred years
All:
Methus’lah lived nine hundred years
Sportin' life:
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 —
All:
It ain’t necessarily so!
