lirik lagu chuck cooper - if i were a rich man
[tevye, spoken]
dear god, you made many, many poor people. i realize, of course, it’s no shame to be poor. it’s no great honor either. so, what would have been so terrible if i had a small fortune?
(sung)
if i were a rich man
daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
all day long i’d biddy biddy bum
if i were a wealthy man
wouldn’t have to work hard
daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
if i were a biddy biddy rich
deedle daidle daidle deedle man
i’d build a big tall housе with rooms by the dozen
right in the middlе 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 noisily as they can
and each loud quack, squawk, honk, gobble
would land like a trumpet on the ear
as if to say, “here lives a wealthy man”
if i were a rich man
daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
all day long i’d biddy biddy bum
if i were a wealthy man (ah ha!)
i wouldn’t have to work hard
daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
if i were a biddy biddy rich
deedle daidle daidle deedle 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 peac~ck
oy! what a happy mood she’s in
screaming at the servants, day and night
the most important men in town will come to fawn on me
they will ask me to advise them
like a solomon the wise
“if you please, reb tevye”
“pardon me, reb tevye”
posing problems that would cross a rabbi’s eyes
bah bee bah, bah bee bah, bah bah
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
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
oy, if i were a rich man
daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
all day long i’d biddy biddy bum
if i were a wealthy man (ha ha!)
wouldn’t have to work hard
daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
lord, who made the lion and the lamb
you decreed i should be what i am
would it spoil some vast eternal plan
if i were a wealthy man?
