If I Were A Rich Man

From 'Fiddler On The HOOP
Words and Music by

Book 3c Harnick

KEYS C Time 440
(Tevye)
What woufd have,

Been so terrible,
If I had a,

SmaH fortune?
If I were a
Biddy, biddy rich

Digguh, digguh

Deedle, daidle man
I'd build a
Big tall house

With rooms by the
Dozen
A fine tin roof
With real

Wooden floors
Below
There would be
One long staircase

Just going up
And one more
Leading nowhere

Just for show
I'd fill my yard
With chicks

And turkeys
And geese
Squawking just
As noisily

As they can
As if to say
Here lives

A wealthy man
Ah...
If I were a
Biddy, biddy rich
I see my wife
My Golde

Looking like
A rich man's wife
Supervising meals
To her heart's

Delight!
I see her
Putting on airs

And strutting
Like 3 peacock
Screaming at the
Serva nts

Day and night
They will ask me
To advise them

Like Solomon
The wise
If you please,
Reb Tevye,

Pardon me,
Reb Tevye
Posing problems
That would

Cross 3 Rabbi's
Eyes
And it won't make
One bit of

Diff' rence
When you're rich
They think you

Really know
If I were rich
I'd have the time

That I lack
And maybe have
A seat by the

Eastern wall
This would be the
Sweetest thing

Of all
Daidle, deedle
Daidle, diguh

Digguh, deedle
Daidle, dum
If I were a
Wealthy man

Wouldn't have
To work hard
Would it spoil,
Some vast,

Eterna! pfan,
IfI were a,
Wealthy man...?
