《If I Were A Rich Man》歌词

[00:05:20] Oh Lord you made many many poor people

[00:05:20] I realize of course that it's no shame to be poor

[00:05:20] But it's no great honor either

[00:05:20] So what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune

[00:05:20] If I were a rich man

[00:05:20] Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum

[00:05:20] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:05:20] If I were a wealthy man

[00:05:20] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:05:20] Ya ha deedle deedle bubba bubba deedle deedle dum

[00:05:20] If I were a biddy biddy rich

[00:05:20] Idle-diddle-daidle-daidle man

[00:05:20] I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen

[00:05:20] Right in the middle of the town

[00:05:20] A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below

[00:05:20] There would be one long staircase just going up

[00:05:20] And one even longer coming down

[00:05:20] And one more leading nowhere just for show

[00:05:20] I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks

[00:05:20] For the town to see and hear

[00:05:20] Squawking just as noisily as they can

[00:05:20] And each loud cheep swaqwk honk quack

[00:05:20] Would land like a trumpet on the ear

[00:05:20] As if to say Here lives a wealthy man

[00:05:20] If I were a rich man

[00:05:20] Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum

[00:05:20] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:05:20] If I were a wealthy man

[00:05:20] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:05:20] Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum

[00:05:20] If I were a biddy biddy rich

[00:05:20] Idle-diddle-daidle-daidle man

[00:05:20] I'd see my wife my Golde looking like a rich man's wife

[00:05:20] With a proper double-chin

[00:05:20] Supervising meals to her heart's delight

[00:05:20] I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock

[00:05:20] Oy what a happy mood she's in

[00:05:20] Screaming at the servants day and night

[00:05:20] The most important men in town would come to fawn on me

[00:05:20] They would ask me to advise them

[00:05:20] Like a Solomon the Wise

[00:05:20] If you please Reb Tevye

[00:05:20] Pardon me Reb Tevye

[00:05:20] Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes

[00:05:20] And it won't make one bit of difference

[00:05:20] if I answer right or wrong

[00:05:20] When you're rich they think you really know

[00:05:20] If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack

[00:05:20] To sit in the synagogue and pray

[00:05:20] And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall

[00:05:20] And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men

[00:05:20] Several hours every day

[00:05:20] That would be the sweetest thing of all

[00:05:20] If I were a rich man

[00:05:20] Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum

[00:05:20] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:05:20] If I were a wealthy man

[00:05:20] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:05:20] Idle-diddle-daidle-daidle man

[00:05:20] Lord who mad the lion and the lamb

[00:05:20] You decreed I should be what I am

[00:05:20] Would it spoil some vast eternal plan

[00:05:20] If I were a wealthy man
