Lyrics If I Were a Rich Man (From "Fiddler on the Roof") - Original Cast
If
I
were
a
rich
man
Didle
- deedle
- didle-
digga
- digga
- deedle
- didle
- dum
All
day
long
I'd
Biddy
- biddy
- bum
If
I
were
a
wealthy
man
Wouldn't
have
to
work
hard
Didle
- deedle
- didle-
digga
- digga
- deedle
- didle
- dum
If
I
were
a
biddy
- biddy
rich
Digga
- digga
- deedle
- didle
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
a
real
wooden
floors
below
There
could
be
one
long
staircase
Just
going
up
And
one
even
longer
coming
down
And
one
more
leading
nowhere
Just
for
show
I'd
fill
be
yard
with
Chicks
and
turkies
and
geese
and
ducks
For
the
town
to
see
and
hear
Squarking
just
as
noisely
as
they
can
And
each
loud
quack
and
cluck
and
gooble
and
honk
Will
land
like
a
trumpet
on
the
ear
As
if
to
say
Hear
lives
a
wealthy
man
If
I
were
a
rich
man
Didle
- deedle
- didle-
digga
- digga
- deedle
- didle
- dum
All
day
long
I'd
Biddy
- biddy
- bum
If
I
were
a
wealthy
man
Wouldn't
have
to
work
hard
Didle
- deedle
- didle-
digga
- digga
- deedle
- didle
- dum
If
I
were
a
biddy
- biddy
rich
Digga
- digga
- deedle
- didle
man
I
see
my
wife,
my
Golda
Looking
like
a
rich
man's
wife
With
a
proper
double
chin
Supervising
meals
to
her
hearts
deleight
I
see
her
putting
on
airs
And
strutting
like
a
peacock
Oh,
what
a
happy
mood
she's
in
Screaming
at
the
servants
day
and
night
If
I
were
rich
I'd
have
the
time
that
I
lack
To
sit
in
the
synagogue
and
pray
Maybe
have
a
seat
By
the
eastern
wall
And
I
discuss
the
Holy
book
With
the
lerned
men
Seven
hours
every
day
This
would
be
the
sweetest
thing
of
all
If
I
were
a
rich
man
Didle
- deedle
- didle-
digga
- digga
- deedle
- didle
- dum
All
day
long
I'd
Biddy
- biddy
- bum
If
I
were
a
wealthy
man
Wouldn't
have
to
work
hard
Didle
- deedle
- didle-
digga
- digga
- deedle
- didle
- dum
Lord
who
made
the
lion
and
the
lamb
You
degreed
I
should
be
what
I
am
Would
it
spoil
some
vast
eternal
plan
If
I
were
a
wealthy
man?
