《If I Were a Rich Man》歌词

[00:00:00] If I Were a Rich Man - The Theatrelands

[00:00:01] Written by：Sheldon Harnick/Jerry Bock

[00:00:02] Dear God you made many many poor people

[00:00:07] I realize of course that it's no great shame to be poor

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

[00:00:15] So what would have been so terrible

[00:00:18] If I had a small fortune

[00:00:22] If I were a rich man

[00:00:24] Daidle deedle daidle

[00:00:26] Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum

[00:00:29] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:00:33] If I were a wealthy man

[00:00:37] I wouldn't have to work hard

[00:00:39] Daidle deedle daidle

[00:00:41] Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum

[00:00:44] If I were a biddy biddy rich

[00:00:48] Daidle deedle daidle daidle man

[00:00:52] I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen

[00:00:58] Right in the middle of the town

[00:01:02] A fine tin roof with the real wooden floors below

[00:01:08] There would be one long staircase just going up

[00:01:13] And one even longer coming down

[00:01:17] And one more leading nowhere just for show

[00:01:24] I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese

[00:01:30] And ducks for the town to see and hear

[00:01:33] Squawking just as noisily as they can

[00:01:40] And each loud pa pa gee pa pa gaack

[00:01:43] Pa pa gee pa pa gaack

[00:01:45] Would land like a trumpet on the ear

[00:01:48] As if to say here lives a wealthy man oy

[00:01:59] If I were a rich man daidle deedle daidle

[00:02:03] Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum

[00:02:06] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

[00:02:10] If I were a wealthy man

[00:02:13] I wouldn't have to work hard daidle deedle daidle

[00:02:17] Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum

[00:02:21] If I were a biddy biddy rich

[00:02:25] Daidle deedle daidle daidle man

[00:02:29] I see my wife my golde looking like a rich man's wife

[00:02:37] With a proper double chin

[00:02:40] Supervising meals to her heart's delight

[00:02:46] I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock

[00:02:52] Oy what a happy mood she's in

[00:02:55] Screaming at the servants day and night

[00:03:03] The most important men in town will come to fawn on me

[00:03:09] They will ask me to advise them

[00:03:13] Like a solomon the wise

[00:03:17] If you please reb tevye pardon me reb tevye

[00:03:24] Posing problems that would 'Cross a rabbi's eyes

[00:03:29] Ya va voy ya va voy voy vum

[00:03:38] And it won't make one bit of difference

[00:03:42] If I answer right or wrong

[00:03:46] When you're rich they think you really know

[00:03:53] If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack

[00:04:00] To sit in the synagogue and pray

[00:04:03] And maybe have a seat by the eastern wall

[00:04:10] And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men

[00:04:16] Seven hours every day

[00:04:18] That would be the sweetest thing of all oy

[00:04:30] If I were a rich man daidle deedle daidle

[00:04:34] Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum

[00:04:38] All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

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

[00:04:45] I wouldn't have to work hard daidle deedle daidle

[00:04:49] Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum

[00:04:53] Lord who made the lion and the lamb

[00:04:57] You decreed I should be what I am

[00:05:01] Would it spoil some vast eternal plan

[00:05:06] If I were a wealthy man
