He lived in a whale You've ever heard 'bout Jonah? He lived, lived in a whale 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
