If I Were a Rich Man (From 'Fiddler on the Roof')
If I were a rich man
Didle - deedle - didle- digga - digga - deedle - didle - dum
All day long I'd
Biddy - biddy - bum
If I were a wealthy man
Wouldn't have to work hard
Didle - deedle - didle- digga - digga - deedle - didle - dum
If I were a biddy - biddy rich
Digga - digga - deedle - 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 a real wooden floors below
There could be one long staircase
Just going up
And one even longer coming down
And one more leading nowhere
Just for show
I'd fill be yard with
Chicks and turkies and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear
Squarking just as noisely as they can
And each loud quack and cluck and gooble and honk
Will land like a trumpet on the ear
As if to say
Hear lives a wealthy man
If I were a rich man
Didle - deedle - didle- digga - digga - deedle - didle - dum
All day long I'd
Biddy - biddy - bum
If I were a wealthy man
Wouldn't have to work hard

Didle - deedle - didle- digga - digga - deedle - didle - dum
If I were a biddy - biddy rich
Digga - digga - deedle - didle man
I see my wife, my Golda
Looking like a rich man's wife
With a proper double chin
Supervising meals to her hearts deleight
I see her putting on airs
And strutting like a peacock
Oh, 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 discuss the Holy book
With the lerned men
Seven hours every day
This would be the sweetest thing of all
If I were a rich man
Didle - deedle - didle- digga - digga - deedle - didle - dum
All day long I'd
Biddy - biddy - bum
If I were a wealthy man
Wouldn't have to work hard
Didle - deedle - didle- digga - digga - deedle - didle - dum
Lord who made the lion and the lamb
You degreed I should be what I am
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan
If I were a wealthy man?
