Текст и перевод песни Allan Sherman - If I Were a Tishman

If I Were a Tishman

Parody of "If I Were A Rich Man" from Fiddler On The Roof)
Oh, New York is changing.
Wherever you look,
Big tall buildings by Tishman
Tishman, ahh...
If I were a Tishman,
Yum di diddle didle doody didle diddy didy di
(Yum di didle)
All day long I'd buildy buildy build,
If I were a building man.
I'd build a lot of buildings,
Yum di didle doody deedle didle deedle didle dum
(Yum di didle)
Building buildings anywhere I wish,
If I were a Tishy Tishy Tish.
I'd build the 666 5th Avenue building
Right in the middle of the town,
One block wide and forty-eight stories high.
And I'd have eighteen elevators going up
And twenty-seven more going down,
All of them express to pass you by.
(Di diddle di)
I'd build a ladies room and also a mens room,
Right there on each and every floor,
Each one in a style that is apropos.
And like the restrooms in the best office buildings,
You'd need a key to open up the door,
Though who would steal a bathroom, I dunno!
Oh, if I were a Tishman,
Yum di diddle doidle didle dadle doodle deedle dum
(Yum di didle)
All day long I'd buildy buildy build,
If I were a building man.
I'd build a lot of buildings,
Yum di doodle dadle didle deedle didle dodle dum
(Yum di didle)
I could realize my life's ambish,
Raising rents whenever I would wish,
Telling tenants, "You can call me pish."
If I were a rich Tishman

Si j'étais un Tishman

Parodie de "Si j'étais un homme riche" de "Le Violon sur le Toit")
Oh, New York change.
Où que vous regardiez,
De grands immeubles par Tishman
Tishman, ahh...
Si j'étais un Tishman,
Yum di diddle diddle doody didle diddy didy di
(Yum di diddle)
Toute la journée je construirais, construirais, construirais,
Si j'étais un homme de bâtiment.
Je construirais beaucoup d'immeubles,
Yum di diddle doody deedle didle deedle didle dum
(Yum di diddle)
Construire des immeubles partout où je le souhaite,
Si j'étais un Tishy Tishy Tish.
Je construirais le 666 5th Avenue building
En plein milieu de la ville,
Une rue de large et quarante-huit étages de haut.
Et j'aurais dix-huit ascenseurs qui montent
Et vingt-sept de plus qui descendent,
Tous en express pour vous dépasser.
(Di diddle di)
Je construirais des toilettes pour dames et aussi des toilettes pour hommes,
Là même à chaque étage,
Chacun dans un style qui est à propos.
Et comme les toilettes dans les meilleurs immeubles de bureaux,
Il vous faudrait une clé pour ouvrir la porte,
Bien que je ne sache pas qui volerait une salle de bain !
Oh, si j'étais un Tishman,
Yum di diddle doidle didle dadle doodle deedle dum
(Yum di diddle)
Toute la journée je construirais, construirais, construirais,
Si j'étais un homme de bâtiment.
Je construirais beaucoup d'immeubles,
Yum di doodle dadle didle deedle didle dodle dum
(Yum di diddle)
Je pourrais réaliser les ambitions de ma vie,
Augmenter les loyers quand je le voudrais,
En disant aux locataires : "Tu peux m'appeler pish."
Si j'étais un riche Tishman
