Testo If I Were a Rich Man - Orquesta Cinerama

Testo della canzone If I Were a Rich Man (Orquesta Cinerama), tratta dall'album Grandes Musicales Vol. 2

If i were a rich man,
daidle deedle daidle
deedle deedle deedle daidle dum
all day long i'd biddy-biddy-bum
if i were a wealthy man.
wouldn't have to work hard,
daidle deedle daidle
daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
if i were a biddy-biddy rich,
deedle deedle daidle daidle 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 real wooden floors below.
there would be one long staircase just going up
and one even longer coming down,
and one more leading nowhere, just for show.
I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese
and ducks for the town to see and hear,
squawking just as noisily so as they can,
and each loud
would land like a trumpet on the ear,
as if to say, "here lives a wealthy man."
oh!
If i were a rich man,
daidle deedle daidle
deedle deedle deedle daidle dum
all day long i'd biddy-biddy-bum
if i were a wealthy man.
wouldn't have to work hard,
daidle deedle daidle
daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
if i were a biddy-biddy rich,
deedle deedle daidle daidle man.
I see my wife, my golde, looking like a rich man's wife,
with a proper double chin,
supervising meals to her heart's delight.
i see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock,
oy! 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'd discuss the holy books with the learned men
seven hours every day--
if would be the sweetest thing of all...
If i were a rich man,
daidle deedle daidle
daidle daidle deedle daidle dum
all day long i'd biddy-biddy-bum
if i were a wealthy man.
wouldn't have to work hard,
daidle deedle daidle
daidle daidle 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?
