《If I Were a Rich Man》歌词

[00:00:00] If I Were A Rich Man (Fiddler On The Roof) - Zero Mostel

[00:00:00] Dear God

[00:00:02] You made many many poor people

[00:00:05] I realize of course

[00:00:07] That it's no shame to be poor

[00:00:10] But it's no great honor either

[00:00:12] So what would have been so terrible if

[00:00:15] I had a small fortune

[00:00:19] If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle

[00:00:22] Didle didle deedle deedle dum

[00:00:26] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:00:29] If I were a wealthy man

[00:00:32] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:00:34] Ya ha deedle deedle didle

[00:00:36] Didle deedle deedle dum

[00:00:39] If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle

[00:00:43] Diddle didle didle man

[00:00:47] I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen

[00:00:53] Right in the middle of the town

[00:00:56] A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below

[00:01:02] There would be one long staircase just going up

[00:01:07] And one even longer coming down

[00:01:10] And one more leading nowhere just for show

[00:01:17] I'd fill my yard with chicks

[00:01:22] And turkeys and geese and ducks

[00:01:24] For the town to see and hear

[00:01:27] Squawking just as noisily as they can

[00:01:32] And each loud "pa-pa-geeee pa-pa-gaack

[00:01:35] Pa-pa-geeee pa-pa-gaack "

[00:01:37] Would land like a trumpet on the ear

[00:01:40] As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man "

[00:01:47] Oy

[00:01:49] If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle

[00:01:52] Didle didle deedle deedle dum

[00:01:55] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:01:59] If I were a wealthy man

[00:02:02] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:02:04] Ya ha deedle deedle didle

[00:02:06] Didle deedle deedle dum

[00:02:09] If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle

[00:02:13] Diddle didle didle man

[00:02:17] I see my wife my Goldie

[00:02:22] Looking like a rich man's wife

[00:02:24] With a proper double chin

[00:02:27] Supervising meals to her heart's delight

[00:02:33] I see her putting on airs

[00:02:35] And strutting like a peacock

[00:02:37] Oy what a happy mood she's in

[00:02:40] Screaming at the servants day and night

[00:02:49] The most important men in town

[00:02:50] Would come to fawn on me

[00:02:54] They would ask me to advise them

[00:02:58] Like a Solomon the Wise

[00:03:01] If you please Reb Tevye pardon me Reb Tevye

[00:03:08] Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes

[00:03:19] And it won't make one bit of difference

[00:03:23] If I answer right or wrong

[00:03:27] When you're rich they think you really know

[00:03:34] If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack

[00:03:41] To sit in the synagogue and pray

[00:03:44] And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall

[00:03:51] And I'd discuss the Holy books with the learned men

[00:03:56] Several hours every day

[00:04:00] That would be the sweetest thing of all

[00:04:08] If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle

[00:04:11] Didle didle deedle deedle dum

[00:04:14] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:04:18] If I were a wealthy man

[00:04:21] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:04:23] Ya ha deedle deedle didle

[00:04:24] Didle deedle deedle dum

[00:04:28] Lord who made the lion and the lamb

[00:04:32] You decreed I should be what I am

[00:04:36] Would it spoil some vast eternal plan

[00:04:41] If I were a wealthy man
