If I Were A Rich Man - Fiddler On The Roof - Karaoke

If I were a rich man 

(we’re only going to sing the first three verses O:K????)

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

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

I wouldn't have to work hard, daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle 

deedle daidle dum

If I were a biddy-biddy rich,daidle deedle daidle daidle man.

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 would be one long staircase just going up

and one even longer coming down,

and one more leading nowhere, just for show.

 

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks for the town to see and hear, squawking just as noisily as they can,

and each loud "pa-pa-geeee! pa-pa-gaack! pa-pa-geeee! pa-pa-gaack!"

would land like a trumpet on the ear,

as if to say, "here lives a wealthy man."

oy!

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

All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum if I were a wealthy man. 

I wouldn't have to work hard,

daidle deedle daidle daidle daidle deedle daidle dum

If I were a biddy-biddy rich, daidle deedle daidle daidle man.
