If I Were a Rich Man (from "Fiddler On The Roof")

If I Were a Rich Man (from "Fiddler On The Roof") - Roger Whittaker

If I were a rich man

deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle dum

All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

If I were a wealthy man

I wouldn't have to work hard

deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle dum

If I were a biddy biddy rich

Yidle diddle didle 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 real wooden floors below

There would be one long staircase just going up

And one even longer coming down

And one more leading nowhere just for show

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks

For the town to see and hear

And each loud cheep and swaqwk and honk and quack

Would land like a trumpet on the ear

As if to say Here lives a wealthy man

If I were a rich man

deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle dum

All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

If I were a wealthy man

I wouldn't have to work hard

deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle deedle dum

Load may be lam and lam

You would'll cried should be what i am

What's sport some fast blame

If I were a wealthy man
