If I Were A Rich Man - Wiener Sängerknaben

If I Were A Rich Man - Wiener Sängerknaben
Written by：Jerry Bock/Sheldon Harnick
If I were a rich man
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da dum
All day long I'd da da da da da
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Da da da da da da da da 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
Squawking just as nosily as they can
And each loud quack and cluck and gobble and honk
Would land like a trumpet on the ear
As if to say Here lives a wealthy man
If I were a rich man
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Da da da da da da da da man
I see my wife my Golde looking like a rich man's wife
With a proper double chin
Supervising meals to her heart's delight
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock
Oy what a happy mood she's in
Screaming at the servants day and night
The most important men in town would come to fawn on me
They would ask me to advise them
Like Solomon the Wise
If you please Reb Tevye
Pardon me Reb Tevye
Posing problems that would 'cross a rabbi's eyes
Papapapaapa py py py
And it won't make one bit of difference
If I answer right or wrong
When you're rich
They think you really know
If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men
Seven hours every day
That would be the sweetest thing of all
If I were a rich man
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da dum
All day long I'd bum bum bum bum bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da dum
Lord who made the lion and the lamb
You decred I should be what I am
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan
If I were a wealthy man
