If I Were a Rich Man - Jimmy Serino Company[00:00:00]
Written by:Sheldon Harnick/Jerry Bock[00:00:01]
Dear God you made many many poor people[00:00:02]
I realize of course that it's no great shame to be poor[00:00:07]
But it's no great honor either[00:00:11]
So what would have been so terrible[00:00:15]
If I had a small fortune[00:00:18]
If I were a rich man[00:00:22]
Daidle deedle daidle[00:00:24]
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum[00:00:26]
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum[00:00:29]
If I were a wealthy man[00:00:33]
I wouldn't have to work hard[00:00:37]
Daidle deedle daidle[00:00:39]
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum[00:00:41]
If I were a biddy biddy rich[00:00:44]
Daidle deedle daidle daidle man[00:00:48]
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen[00:00:52]
Right in the middle of the town[00:00:58]
A fine tin roof with the real wooden floors below[00:01:02]
There would be one long staircase just going up[00:01:08]
And one even longer coming down[00:01:13]
And one more leading nowhere just for show[00:01:17]
I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese[00:01:24]
And ducks for the town to see and hear[00:01:30]
Squawking just as noisily as they can[00:01:33]
And each loud pa pa gee pa pa gaack[00:01:40]
Pa pa gee pa pa gaack[00:01:43]
Would land like a trumpet on the ear[00:01:45]
As if to say here lives a wealthy man oy[00:01:48]
If I were a rich man daidle deedle daidle[00:01:59]
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum[00:02:03]
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum[00:02:06]
If I were a wealthy man[00:02:10]
I wouldn't have to work hard daidle deedle daidle[00:02:13]
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum[00:02:17]
If I were a biddy biddy rich[00:02:21]
Daidle deedle daidle daidle man[00:02:25]
I see my wife my golde looking like a rich man's wife[00:02:29]
With a proper double chin[00:02:37]
Supervising meals to her heart's delight[00:02:40]
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock[00:02:46]
Oy what a happy mood she's in[00:02:52]
Screaming at the servants day and night[00:02:55]
The most important men in town will come to fawn on me[00:03:03]
They will ask me to advise them[00:03:09]
Like a solomon the wise[00:03:13]
If you please reb tevye pardon me reb tevye[00:03:17]
Posing problems that would 'Cross a rabbi's eyes[00:03:24]
Ya va voy ya va voy voy vum[00:03:29]
And it won't make one bit of difference[00:03:38]
If I answer right or wrong[00:03:42]
When you're rich they think you really know[00:03:46]
If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack[00:03:53]
To sit in the synagogue and pray[00:04:00]
And maybe have a seat by the eastern wall[00:04:03]
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men[00:04:10]
Seven hours every day[00:04:16]
That would be the sweetest thing of all oy[00:04:18]
If I were a rich man daidle deedle daidle[00:04:30]
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum[00:04:34]
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum[00:04:38]
If I were a wealthy man[00:04:42]
I wouldn't have to work hard daidle deedle daidle[00:04:45]
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum[00:04:49]
Lord who made the lion and the lamb[00:04:53]
You decreed I should be what I am[00:04:57]
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan[00:05:01]
If I were a wealthy man[00:05:06]
