Made Famous Byz FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

(Q www.singtotheworld.cam
El III E El El
Oh Lord,you

made many, many
poor people
Oh Lord, you

made many, many
poor people
I realise, of course,
it's no shame to be

poor but it's no
great honour either
So, what would have

been so terrible if I had
a small fortune?

All day long I'd biddy-
biddy-bum, if I

were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't
have to work hard
If I were a biddy-

biddy rich. idIe-diddle-
didIe-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

no-where. 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, biddly-
gee and biddly-goo,
biddly-gare, biddly-gah,
would land like a
trumpet on the ear
As if to say,

Here lives a wealthy

man

All day long

I'd biddy-biddy-bum if I
were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work
hard. Ya-ba-dubba

If I were a biddy-

biddy rich. idIe-diddle-
didle didle 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

If I were
a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work
hard. Ya-ba-dubba

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?
