Featured on the 'Porgy & Bess' album.

Written & composed by: Ira & George Gershwin

The lyrics sung by Sting:
 


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.
David was small but oh my.
He fought big Goliath who lay down and dieth.
David was small but oh my.
David was small but oh my.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
He made his home in a fishes abdomen.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
Moses was found on a stream.
Moses was found on a stream.
Floated on water old Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream.
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.
Things that you're liable to read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so
