Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
Non è necessariamente così.
Ciò che voi potete
leggere nella Bibbia,
non è detto che sia andato così.
Il piccolo David era piccolo; ma ahimè!
Egli sconfisse il grosso Golia
che cadde a terra stecchito.
Il piccolo David era piccolo; ma ahimè!
CORO
Wahu!Zim bam budl u,
hadl a da wa da - Sketti wah!
SPORTING LIFE
Sì.Oh! Giona visse dentro la balena,
perchè lui fece la sua casa nel
ventre di quel pesce.
Oh! Giona, egli visse dentro la balena.
Il piccolo Mosé fù trovato in un fiume,
lui vagava sull'acqua
finchè da quell'acqua non lo ripescò,
lei dice, la figlia del vecchio faraone.
CORO
Wahu! ecc....
SPORTING LIFE
Non è necessariamente così.
A tutti voi, ragazzi, dicono
che il diavolo è un malandrino
ma non è detto che sia così.
Per guadagnare il Cielo
non preoccuparti per un nonnulla!
Vai tranquillo! Fa come me! Non sbagliare!
Oh! Io faccio questo canto
tutte le volte che posso,
ma va preso con un po' di saggezza.
Matusalemme visse 900 anni,
dicono; ma chi la può chiamare vita,
quando un uomo non ha una donna
cosa son mai novecvent'anni?
Tengo questo sermone per dimostrare
che non è, non è necessariamente così.
