Karaoke Track: If I Were A Rich Man by Broadway (Idol Makers)

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

All day long
I&#39;d biddy biddy burn

If I were a wealthy man

Wouldn&#39;t have to work hard
Daidle, deedle, daidle,

digguh, digguh,
deedle, daidle dum

I&#39;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 could be one long
staircase just going up

And one even longer
coming down

And one more leading no
where just for show
I&#39;d fill my yard with chicks
and turkeys and geese

And each loud quack and
cluck and gobble and honk
Will land like a trumpet
on the ear
As if to say here lives
a wealthy man

If I were a rich man, daidle,
And each loud quack and
cluck and gobble and honk
Will land like a trumpet
on the ear
As if to say here lives
a wealthy man

If I were a rich man, daidle,
deedle, daidle, digguh,
digguh, deedle, daidle dum

All day long I&#39;d biddy biddy
bum
If I were a wealthy man

I see my wife, my Golda
Looking like a rich man&#39;s

wife with a proper
double chin

Supervising meals to her
heart&#39;s delight
I see her putting on airs

And strutting like a peacock
0y! what a happy mood
she&#39;s in

If I were rich I&#39;d have the
time that I lack to sit in
the synagouge and pray
Maybe have a seat by the
eastern wall

And I&#39;d discuss the holy
books with the learned men
If I were rich I&#39;d have the
time that I lack to sit in
the synagouge and pray
Maybe have a seat by the
eastern wall

And I&#39;d discuss the holy
books with the learned men
seven hours every day

This would be the sweetest
thing of all

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

Wouldn&#39;t have to work hard
Daidle, deedle, daidle,

digguh, digguh, deedle,
daidle dum

Lord, who made the lion
and the lamb

You decreed I should be
what I am

Would it spoil some vast
eternal plan

If I were a wealthy man?
