《If I Were A Rich Man》歌词

[00:00:00] If I Were A Rich Man - Tony Mason-Cox/Serge Ermoll

[00:00:00] Lord you made many many poor people

[00:00:04] I realize of course

[00:00:05] That it's not a shame to be poor

[00:00:07] But it's no great honor either

[00:00:10] What would be so terrible

[00:00:12] If I had a small fortune

[00:00:22] If I were a rich man

[00:00:24] Daidle deedle daidle

[00:00:26] Deedle deedle deedle daidle dum

[00:00:30] All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum

[00:00:33] If I were a wealthy man

[00:00:37] Wouldn't have to work hard

[00:00:40] Daidle deedle daidle

[00:00:41] Deedle deedle deedle daidle dum

[00:00:45] If I were a biddy-biddy rich

[00:00:49] Deedle deedle deedle daidle man

[00:00:53] I'd build a big tall house

[00:01:00] With rooms by the dozen

[00:01:02] Right in the middle of the town

[00:01:06] A fine tin roof

[00:01:08] With real wooden floors below

[00:01:13] I could be one long staircase

[00:01:16] Just going up

[00:01:18] Another even longer coming down

[00:01:22] And one had going nowhere

[00:01:26] Just for show

[00:01:30] I'd fill my yard with ducks

[00:01:37] And turkeys and geese

[00:01:39] And chicks for the town to see and hear

[00:01:44] Squawking just as noisily as they can

[00:01:50] And each loud

[00:01:52] Squawking hanking goubling hun

[00:01:55] Would land like a trumpet on the ear

[00:02:00] As if to say

[00:02:01] Here lives a wealthy man oy

[00:02:09] I see my wife my Golde

[00:02:16] Looking like a rich man's wife

[00:02:18] With a proper double chin

[00:02:22] Supervising meals to her heart's delight

[00:02:29] I see her putting on airs

[00:02:32] And strutting like a peacock

[00:02:34] Oy what a happy mood she's in

[00:02:38] Screaming at the servants day and night

[00:02:45] The most important men in town

[00:02:48] Will come to fawn on me

[00:02:50] They would ask me to advise them

[00:02:53] Like Solomon the wise

[00:02:55] If you please Reb Tevye

[00:02:58] Pardon me Reb Tevye

[00:03:00] Posing problems

[00:03:01] That would cross a rabbi's eyes

[00:03:04] Voy voy voy

[00:03:05] Voy voy voy

[00:03:06] Voy voy voy

[00:03:10] And it won't make one bit of difference

[00:03:16] If I answer right or wrong

[00:03:20] When you're rich

[00:03:21] They think you really know

[00:03:27] If I were rich

[00:03:33] I'd have the time that I lack

[00:03:36] To sit in the synagogue and pray

[00:03:41] And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall

[00:03:48] And I'd discuss the holy books

[00:03:52] With the learned men seven hours everyday

[00:03:57] This would be the sweetest thing of all oy

[00:04:06] If I were a rich man

[00:04:09] Deedle daidle deedle daidle

[00:04:11] Deedle deedle deedle daidle dum

[00:04:15] All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum

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

[00:04:22] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:04:25] Deedle daidle deedle daidle

[00:04:27] Deedle deedle deedle daidle dum

[00:04:31] Lord who made the lion and the lamb

[00:04:36] You decreed I should be what I am

[00:04:43] Would it

[00:04:44] Would it spoil some vast eternal plan

[00:04:54] If I were a wealthy man

[00:05:21] Well word
