If I Were A Rich Man - Tony Mason-Cox/Serge Ermoll[00:00:00]
Lord you made many many poor people[00:00:00]
I realize of course[00:00:04]
That it's not a shame to be poor[00:00:05]
But it's no great honor either[00:00:07]
What would be so terrible[00:00:10]
If I had a small fortune[00:00:12]
If I were a rich man[00:00:22]
Daidle deedle daidle[00:00:24]
Deedle deedle deedle daidle dum[00:00:26]
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum[00:00:30]
If I were a wealthy man[00:00:33]
Wouldn't have to work hard[00:00:37]
Daidle deedle daidle[00:00:40]
Deedle deedle deedle daidle dum[00:00:41]
If I were a biddy-biddy rich[00:00:45]
Deedle deedle deedle daidle man[00:00:49]
I'd build a big tall house[00:00:53]
With rooms by the dozen[00:01:00]
Right in the middle of the town[00:01:02]
A fine tin roof[00:01:06]
With real wooden floors below[00:01:08]
I could be one long staircase[00:01:13]
Just going up[00:01:16]
Another even longer coming down[00:01:18]
And one had going nowhere[00:01:22]
Just for show[00:01:26]
I'd fill my yard with ducks[00:01:30]
And turkeys and geese[00:01:37]
And chicks for the town to see and hear[00:01:39]
Squawking just as noisily as they can[00:01:44]
And each loud[00:01:50]
Squawking hanking goubling hun[00:01:52]
Would land like a trumpet on the ear[00:01:55]
As if to say[00:02:00]
Here lives a wealthy man oy[00:02:01]
I see my wife my Golde[00:02:09]
Looking like a rich man's wife[00:02:16]
With a proper double chin[00:02:18]
Supervising meals to her heart's delight[00:02:22]
I see her putting on airs[00:02:29]
And strutting like a peacock[00:02:32]
Oy what a happy mood she's in[00:02:34]
Screaming at the servants day and night[00:02:38]
The most important men in town[00:02:45]
Will come to fawn on me[00:02:48]
They would ask me to advise them[00:02:50]
Like Solomon the wise[00:02:53]
If you please Reb Tevye[00:02:55]
Pardon me Reb Tevye[00:02:58]
Posing problems[00:03:00]
That would cross a rabbi's eyes[00:03:01]
Voy voy voy[00:03:04]
Voy voy voy[00:03:05]
Voy voy voy[00:03:06]
And it won't make one bit of difference[00:03:10]
If I answer right or wrong[00:03:16]
When you're rich[00:03:20]
They think you really know[00:03:21]
If I were rich[00:03:27]
I'd have the time that I lack[00:03:33]
To sit in the synagogue and pray[00:03:36]
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall[00:03:41]
And I'd discuss the holy books[00:03:48]
With the learned men seven hours everyday[00:03:52]
This would be the sweetest thing of all oy[00:03:57]
If I were a rich man[00:04:06]
Deedle daidle deedle daidle[00:04:09]
Deedle deedle deedle daidle dum[00:04:11]
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum[00:04:15]
If I were a wealthy man[00:04:18]
I wouldn't have to work hard[00:04:22]
Deedle daidle deedle daidle[00:04:25]
Deedle deedle deedle daidle dum[00:04:27]
Lord who made the lion and the lamb[00:04:31]
You decreed I should be what I am[00:04:36]
Would it[00:04:43]
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan[00:04:44]
If I were a wealthy man[00:04:54]
Well word[00:05:21]
