IF I WAS A RICH MAN
Dai-dle, dee-dle, dai-dle
Dig-guh, dig-guh, dee-dle, dai-dle, dum
All day long I'd bid-dy, bid-dy bum
If I were a wealthy man...
Wouldn't have to work hard
Dai-dle, dee-dle, dai-dle
Dig-guh, dig-guh, dee-dle, dai-dle, dum
If I wer a bid-dy, bid-dy rich,
Dig-guh, dig-guh, dee-dle, dai-dle, man
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
Right in the middle of town
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
There could be one long stair-case just going up
And one e-ven longer coming down
And one more leading nowhere just for show..
I'd fill my yard with chickens and Geese
And ducks for the town to see and hear;
Squaking just as noisily as they can
And each loud quack and cluck and gobble and honk
Will land like a trumpet on the ear;
As if to say her lives a wealthy man.........
I see my wife, my Gold-e
Looking like a rich man's wife with a proper double chin
Supervising meals to her hearts delight
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock Oy!
What a happy mood she's in.
Screemning at the servants day and night
The most important men in town will come and fawn on me
They will ask me to advise them like Solomam the wise
If you please Reb Tevye, pardon me Reb Tevye
posing problems that would cross a Rabbie's eyes
Boi-boi, boi-boi, boi-boi, boi-boi
And it won''t make one bit of difference
If I was right or wrong?
When you're rich, they think you really know
If I were rich, Id have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and prey
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall
And I'd discuss the Holy books
With the learned men seven hours a day
This would be the seetest thing of all.....
IF I WAS A RICH MAN
Dai-dle, dee-dle, dai-dle
Dig-guh, dig-guh, dee-dle, dai-dle, dum
All day long I'd bid-dy, bid-dy bum
If I were a wealthy man...
Wouldn't have to work hard
Dai-dle, dee-dle, dai-dle
Dig-guh, dig-guh, dee-dle, dai-dle, dum
If I wer a bid-dy, bid-dy rich,
Dig-guh, dig-guh, dee-dle, dai-dle, man
Lord who made the lion and the lamb
Yoy decreed I should be what I am
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan
If I were a wealthy man?.....
