[00:00.00]If I Were A Rich Man - Wiener Sängerknaben
[00:02.41]Written by：Jerry Bock/Sheldon Harnick
[00:04.83]If I were a rich man
[00:06.70]Da da da da da da da da
[00:08.42]Da da da da da dum
[00:11.40]All day long I'd da da da da da
[00:14.49]If I were a wealthy man
[00:18.14]I wouldn't have to work hard
[00:20.40]Da da da da da da da da
[00:22.06]Da da da da da dum
[00:24.70]If I were a biddy biddy rich
[00:28.02]Da da da da da da da da man
[00:30.95]I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
[00:37.10]Right in the middle of the town
[00:40.05]A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
[00:45.74]There would be one long staircase just going up
[00:49.61]And one even longer coming down
[00:52.91]And one more leading nowhere just for show
[00:59.76]I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
[01:06.53]For the town to see and hear
[01:09.21]Squawking just as nosily as they can
[01:14.53]And each loud quack and cluck and gobble and honk
[01:18.43]Would land like a trumpet on the ear
[01:21.71]As if to say Here lives a wealthy man
[01:29.51]If I were a rich man
[01:31.45]Da da da da da da da da
[01:33.13]Da da da da da dum
[01:36.08]All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
[01:38.87]If I were a wealthy man
[01:42.76]I wouldn't have to work hard
[01:44.74]Da da da da da da da da
[01:46.38]Da da da da da dum
[01:49.22]If I were a biddy biddy rich
[01:52.43]Da da da da da da da da man
[01:55.61]I see my wife my Golde looking like a rich man's wife
[02:01.87]With a proper double chin
[02:04.71]Supervising meals to her heart's delight
[02:10.33]I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock
[02:14.70]Oy what a happy mood she's in
[02:18.11]Screaming at the servants day and night
[02:23.86]The most important men in town would come to fawn on me
[02:29.61]They would ask me to advise them
[02:33.87]Like Solomon the Wise
[02:37.70]If you please Reb Tevye
[02:40.54]Pardon me Reb Tevye
[02:45.55]Posing problems that would 'cross a rabbi's eyes
[02:49.93]Papapapaapa py py py
[02:56.50]And it won't make one bit of difference
[02:59.64]If I answer right or wrong
[03:03.29]When you're rich
[03:05.38]They think you really know
[03:10.27]If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack
[03:17.02]To sit in the synagogue and pray
[03:20.43]And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall
[03:26.66]And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men
[03:31.90]Seven hours every day
[03:34.78]That would be the sweetest thing of all
[03:43.88]If I were a rich man
[03:46.28]Da da da da da da da da
[03:47.87]Da da da da da dum
[03:50.76]All day long I'd bum bum bum bum bum
[03:54.36]If I were a wealthy man
[03:57.49]I wouldn't have to work hard
[03:59.34]Da da da da da da da da
[04:00.92]Da da da da da dum
[04:03.89]Lord who made the lion and the lamb
[04:06.94]You decred I should be what I am
[04:10.11]Would it spoil some vast eternal plan
[04:13.60]If I were a wealthy man
