If I Where a Rich Man

Lyrics

[Chorus] If I were a rich man Dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby doo All day long I'd biddy biddy be If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby doo If I were a biddy biddy rich Idle-diddle-daidle-diddle man [Verse 1] (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) [Verse 2] (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 I'd see my wifе, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife With a propеr double-chin Screaming at the servants day and night) [Chorus] If I were a rich man Dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby doo All day long I'd biddy biddy be If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard Dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby dooby doo If I were a biddy biddy rich Idle-diddle-daidle-diddle man [Verse 3] (If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack To sit in a synagogue and pray And maybe I would sit by the Eastern wall And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men Seven hours every day And that would be the sweetest thing of all) [Outro] La la la la la
