If i were a rich man _ xvid.avi

If i were a rich man
Fiddler on the roof (Skrzypek na dachu)


If I were a rich man...
(Jabe debe debe debe
debe debe debe dum)
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum,
If I were a wealthy man.

I wouldn't have to work hard
(Jabe debe debe debe
debe debe debe dum).
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Digguh digguh deedle daidle 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 small
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 and cluck
And gobble and honk
Will land like a trumpet on the ear.
As if to say here lives a wealthy man.....

If I were a rich man...
(Jabe debe debe debe
debe debe debe dum)
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum,
If I were a wealthy man.

I wouldn't have to work hard
(Jabe debe debe debe
debe debe debe dum).
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Digguh digguh deedle daidle 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
Oh what a happy mood she's in.
Screaming at the servants day and night.

The most important men it town
Will come to fawn on me
They will ask me to advise them
Like Solomon The Wise

"If you please Reb Tevye".
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye".
Poising problems that would
Cross a Rabbi's eyes....

(he chants)

And it won't make
one bit of difference
If I answer right or wrong.
When you're rich t
hey 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
This would be the sweetest
thing of all.

(Sigh)

If I were a rich man...
(Jabe debe debe debe
debe debe debe dum)
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum,
If I were a wealthy man.

I wouldn't have to work hard
(Jabe debe debe debe
debe debe debe 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?!!!
