[00:00.00]If I Were a Rich Man - Milton Greene
[00:01.86]Dear God You made many many poor people
[00:05.01]
[00:05.94]I realize of course that it's no shame to be poor
[00:09.79]
[00:11.18]But it's no great honor either
[00:12.54]
[00:13.78]So what would have been so terrible
[00:15.53]
[00:16.36]If I had a small fortune
[00:18.88]
[00:20.45]If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle
[00:24.19]Didle didle deedle deedle dum
[00:25.60]
[00:27.15]All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
[00:29.72]
[00:30.46]If I were a wealthy man
[00:31.87]
[00:33.37]I wouldn't have to work hard
[00:35.07]
[00:35.59]Ya ha deedle deedle didle
[00:37.52]Didle deedle deedle dum
[00:38.84]
[00:40.23]If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle
[00:44.27]
[00:44.80]Diddle didle didle man
[00:47.30]
[00:48.24]I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
[00:54.11]
[00:54.67]Right in the middle of the town
[00:56.47]
[00:57.73]A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
[01:01.20]
[01:03.45]There would be one long staircase just going up
[01:07.46]
[01:07.97]And one even longer coming down
[01:09.95]
[01:11.04]And one more leading nowhere just for show
[01:15.39]
[01:18.27]I'd fill my yard with chicks
[01:22.92]And turkeys and geese and ducks
[01:25.53]For the town to see and hear
[01:27.11]
[01:28.37]Walking just nosely as i can
[01:31.89]
[01:33.74]And each loud 'Cheep'
[01:34.95]
[01:35.52]And 'Swaqwk' and 'Honk' and 'Quack'
[01:38.20]Would land like a trumpet on the ear
[01:40.40]
[01:41.31]As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man"
[01:45.53]
[01:50.58]If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle
[01:53.74]Didle didle deedle deedle dum
[01:56.05]
[01:57.02]All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
[02:00.19]If I were a wealthy man
[02:02.04]
[02:03.30]I wouldn't have to work hard
[02:05.46]Ya ha deedle deedle didle
[02:07.09]Didle deedle deedle dum
[02:08.60]
[02:10.00]If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle
[02:13.94]
[02:14.53]Diddle didle didle man
[02:17.41]
[02:18.32]I see my wife my Goldie
[02:23.01]Looking like a rich man's wife
[02:25.51]With a proper double chin
[02:26.85]
[02:28.36]Supervising meals to her heart's delight
[02:32.02]
[02:34.01]I see her putting on airs
[02:36.82]And strutting like a peacock
[02:38.58]
[02:39.12]Oy what a happy mood she's in
[02:41.10]
[02:41.74]Screaming at the servants day and night
[02:45.42]
[02:49.94]The most important men in town
[02:51.94]Would come to fawn on me
[02:54.12]
[02:55.40]They would ask me to advise them like a Solomon the Wise
[03:02.15]If you please Reb Tevye
[03:04.64]
[03:05.31]Pardon me Reb Tevye
[03:08.08]
[03:08.91]Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes
[03:12.28]
[03:20.50]And it won't make one bit of difference
[03:24.25]If I answer right or wrong
[03:26.24]
[03:27.48]When you're rich they think you really know
[03:31.92]
[03:35.21]If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack
[03:42.22]To sit in the synagogue and pray
[03:44.63]
[03:45.76]And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall
[03:50.08]
[03:52.11]And I'd discuss the Holy books with the learned men
[03:57.57]Several hours every day
[03:59.42]
[04:00.93]That would be the sweetest thing of all
[04:04.32]
[04:09.07]If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle
[04:12.56]Didle didle deedle deedle dum
[04:14.08]
[04:15.75]All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[04:20.69]

[04:24.09]Ya ha deedle deedle didle didle
