[00:08.48]Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
[00:12.33]All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum
[00:16.01]If I were a wealthy man
[00:19.74]Wouldn't have to work hard
[00:22.10]Daidle deedle daidle

[00:27.26]If I were a biddy-biddy rich
[00:31.08]Daidle deedle daidle daidle man
[00:34.21]I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
[00:40.39]Right in the middle of the town
[00:43.72]A fine tin roof with the real wooden floors below
[00:50.31]There would be one long staircase just going up
[00:54.93]And one even longer coming down
[00:58.67]And one more leading nowhere just for show
[01:06.43]I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese
[01:12.78]And ducks for the town to see and hear
[01:16.82]Squawking just as noisily as they can
[01:23.27]And each loud
[01:27.86]Would land like a trumpet on the ear
[01:31.65]As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man"
[01:40.96]If I were a rich man daidle deedle daidle
[01:44.30]Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum

[02:03.28]If I were a biddy-biddy rich
[02:07.02]Daidle deedle daidle daidle man
[02:11.13]I see my wife my Golde
[02:15.96]Looking like a rich man's wife
[02:18.20]With a proper double chin
[02:21.58]Supervising meals to her heart's delight
[02:27.66]I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock
[02:32.78]Oy What a happy mood she's in
[02:36.50]Screaming at the servants day and night
[02:44.71]The most important men in town
[02:46.83]Will come to fawn on me
[02:50.02]They will ask me to advise them
[02:53.47]Like a Solomon the Wise
[02:56.10]"If you please Reb Tevye pardon me Reb Tevye "
[03:01.92]Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes
[03:15.19]And it won't make one bit of difference
[03:18.77]If I answer right or wrong
[03:22.50]When you're rich they think you really know
[03:30.23]If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack
[03:36.87]To sit in the synagogue and pray
[03:40.78]And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall
[03:47.68]And I'd discuss the holy
[03:51.00]Books with the learned men
[03:53.48]Seven hours every day
[03:57.07]This would be the sweetest thing of all
[04:06.35]If I were a rich man daidle deedle daidle
[04:09.85]Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
[04:13.77]All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum

[04:21.31]Wouldn't have to work hard
[04:23.54]Daidle deedle daidle
[04:24.81]Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
[04:28.69]Lord who made the lion and the lamb
[04:31.92]You decreed I should be what I am
[04:35.46]Would it spoil some vast eternal plan
[04:42.43]If I were a wealthy man
