《If I Were a Rich Man》歌词

[00:00:00] If I Were a Rich Man (From "Fiddler on the Roof") - Milton Greene/Zero Mostel

[00:00:01] Dear God You made many many poor people

[00:00:05] I realize of course that it's no shame to be poor

[00:00:11] But it's no great honor either

[00:00:13] So what would have been so terrible

[00:00:16] If I had a small fortune

[00:00:20] If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle

[00:00:24] Didle didle deedle deedle dum

[00:00:27] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:00:30] If I were a wealthy man

[00:00:33] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:00:35] Ya ha deedle deedle didle

[00:00:37] Didle deedle deedle dum

[00:00:40] If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle

[00:00:44] Diddle didle didle man

[00:00:48] I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen

[00:00:54] Right in the middle of the town

[00:00:57] A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below

[00:01:03] There would be one long staircase just going up

[00:01:07] And one even longer coming down

[00:01:11] And one more leading nowhere just for show

[00:01:18] I'd fill my yard with chicks

[00:01:22] And turkeys and geese and ducks

[00:01:25] For the town to see and hear

[00:01:28] Walking just nosely as i can

[00:01:33] And each loud 'Cheep'

[00:01:35] And 'Swaqwk' and 'Honk' and 'Quack'

[00:01:38] Would land like a trumpet on the ear

[00:01:41] As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man"

[00:01:50] If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle

[00:01:53] Didle didle deedle deedle dum

[00:01:57] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:02:00] If I were a wealthy man

[00:02:03] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:02:05] Ya ha deedle deedle didle

[00:02:07] Didle deedle deedle dum

[00:02:10] If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle

[00:02:14] Diddle didle didle man

[00:02:18] I see my wife my Goldie

[00:02:23] Looking like a rich man's wife

[00:02:25] With a proper double chin

[00:02:28] Supervising meals to her heart's delight

[00:02:34] I see her putting on airs

[00:02:36] And strutting like a peacock

[00:02:39] Oy what a happy mood she's in

[00:02:41] Screaming at the servants day and night

[00:02:49] The most important men in town

[00:02:51] Would come to fawn on me

[00:02:55] They would ask me to advise them like a Solomon the Wise

[00:03:02] If you please Reb Tevye

[00:03:05] Pardon me Reb Tevye

[00:03:08] Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes

[00:03:20] And it won't make one bit of difference

[00:03:24] If I answer right or wrong

[00:03:27] When you're rich they think you really know

[00:03:35] If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack

[00:03:42] To sit in the synagogue and pray

[00:03:45] And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall

[00:03:52] And I'd discuss the Holy books with the learned men

[00:03:57] Several hours every day

[00:04:00] That would be the sweetest thing of all

[00:04:09] If I were a rich man ya ha deedle deedle

[00:04:12] Didle didle deedle deedle dum

[00:04:15] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:04:19] If I were a wealthy man

[00:04:21] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:04:24] Ya ha deedle deedle didle didle

[00:04:26] Deedle deedle dum

[00:04:29] Like make a lie make a lie

[00:04:33] You don't cry should be that i lie

[00:04:37] Would you for you some fest turn fly

[00:04:42] If I were a weathy man
