KEZ
If I were a rich man
Hee daidle daidle daidle

deedle deedle
daidle daidle dum
All day long I'd

hiddy biddy hum
if I were a wealthy man
I'd build a big tall

house with rooms
by the dozen
A fine tin roof

with real wooden
floors below
There would he

one long staircase
iust going up
And one more

leading nowhere,
iust for show
I'd fill my yard with
chicks and turkeys

and geese and ducks
for the town to
see and hear
Squawking iust as

noisily as they can
And each loud
(chicken and duck noises)

would land like a
trumpet on the ear
As if to saw

Here lives a
wealthy man
0y!
If I were a rich man

Hee Daidle daidle daidle
deedle deedle
daidle daidle dum
All day long I'd

hiddy biddy hum
if I were a wealthy man
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
a peacock
Screaming at the

servants day and night
The most important

men in town will come
to fawn on me
Like 3 Solomon the Wise
If you please, Reb Tewe

Pardon me, Reh Tewe
Posing problems

that would cross
a rabbi's eyes
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
And maybe have a seat

by the Eastern wall
And I'd discuss the
holy books with

the learned men
seven hours everyr day
This would he the

sweetest thing of all
0y!
If I were a rich man

Hee daidle daidle daidle
deedle deedle

daidle daidle dum
All day long I'd

hiddy biddy hum
if I were a wealthy man
Lord who made the

lion and the lamb
Would it spoil some
vast, eternal plan

if I were a
wealthy man ...... ?
