From “Porgy and Bess”
Words by Ira Gershwin
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Refrain
IT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO,
IT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO,
DEY TELL ALL YOU CHILLUN
DE DEBBLE’S A VILLUN,
BUT ‘TAIN’T NECESSARILY SO,
TO GET INTO HEBBEN,
DON’ SNAP FOR A SEBBEN!
LIVE CLEAN! DON’ HAVE NO FAULT!
OH,
I TAKES GOSPEL WHENEVER IT’S POS’BLE,
BUT WID A GRAIN OF SALT,
METHUS’LAH LIVED NINE HUNDRED YEARS,
METHUS’LAH LIVED NINE HUNDRED YEARS,
BUT WHO CALLS DAT LIVIN’
WHEN NO GAL’LL GIVE IN....
TO NO MAN WHAT’S NINE HUNDRED YEARS?
(Repeat Refrain)

I’M PREACHIN’ DIS SERMON TO SHOW,
IT AIN’T NESSA. AIN’T NESSA,
AIN’T NESSA, AIN’T NESSA,
AIN’T NECESSARILY SO.
IT AIN’T NECESSARILY SO
