If I Were a Rich Man (From "Fiddler on the Roof")
If i were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle
- If i were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle
- Didle didle deedle deedle dum
- All day long i'd biddy biddy bum
- If i were a wealthy man
- Wouldn't have to work hard
- Ya ha deedle deedle didle
- Didle deedle deedle dum
- If i were a biddy biddy rich yidle
- Diddle didle didle man
- I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
- Right in the middle of the town
- A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
- There would be one long staircase just going up
- And one even longer coming down
- And one more leading nowhere just for show
- I'd fill my yard with chicks
- And turkeys and geese and ducks
- For the town to see and hear
- Squawking just as noisily as they can
- And each loud
- Swaqwk and honk and quack
- Would land like a trumpet on the ear
- As if to say here lives a wealthy man
- If i were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle
- Didle didle deedle deedle dum
- All day long i'd biddy biddy bum
- If i were a wealthy man
- Wouldn't have to work hard
- Ya ha deedle deedle didle
- Didle deedle deedle dum
- If i were a biddy biddy rich yidle
- Diddle didle didle man
- I see my wife my goldie
- Looking like a rich man's wife
- With a proper double chin
- Supervising meals to her heart's delight
- I see her putting on airs
- And strutting like a peacock
- Oy what a happy mood she's in
- Screaming at the servants day and night
- If i were rich i'd have the time that i lack
- To sit in the synagogue and pray
- Maybe have a seat by the eastern wall
- And i'd discuss the holy books with the learned men
- Seven hours every day
- This would be the sweetest thing of all
- If i were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle
- Didle didle deedle deedle dum
- All day long i'd biddy biddy bum
- If i were a wealthy man
- Wouldn't have to work hard
- Ya ha deedle deedle didle didle
- Deedle deedle dum
- Lord who mad the lion and the lamb
- You decreed i should be what i am
- Would it spoil some vast eternal plan
- If i were a wealthy man
