If I were a rich man
Daidle, deedle, daidle,

digguh, digguh,
deedle, daidle dum
All day long
I'd biddy biddy burn

If I were a wealthy man
Wouldn't have to work hard
Daidle, deedle, daidle,

digguh, digguh,
deedle, daidle dum
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 could 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 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, daidle,
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, daidle,
deedle, daidle, digguh,
digguh, deedle, daidle dum

All day long I'd biddy biddy
bum
If I were a wealthy man
If I were a biddy biddy rich

Digguh, digguh, deedle,
daidle man
I see my wife, my Golda
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
0y! what a happy mood
she's in
If I were rich I'd have the
time that I lack to sit in
the synagouge and pray
Maybe have a seat by the
eastern wall
And I'd discuss the holy
books with the learned men
If I were rich I'd have the
time that I lack to sit in
the synagouge 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

This would be the sweetest
thing of all
If I were a rich man
Daidle, deedle, daidle,

digguh, digguh, .deedle,
daidle dum
Wouldn't have to work hard
Daidle, deedle , daidle,

digguh, digguh, .deedle,
. daidle dum

Would it spoil S'ome vast
e 4'eternal plan

If I were a wealthy man?
