Oh Lord, you made many,
many poor people
I realize, of course,it's no shame to be poor
But it's no great honoureither
So, what would havebeen so terrible if I had
a small fortune?
If I were a rich man,Ya-ba-dubba-dubba-dubba
dubba-dubba-dubba-dum
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum,
if I were a wealthy man Iwouldn't have to work hard
Ya-ba-dubba-dubba-dubbadubba-dubba-dubba-dum
If I were a biddy-biddy rich,idle-diddle-didle-didle man
I'd build a big tall housewith rooms by the dozen,
right in the middle of thetown A fine tin roof, with
real wooden floors below
There would be one longstaircase, just going up and
one even longer comingdown
And one more leadingno-where, just for show
I'd fill my yard with chicksand turkeys and geese and
ducks, for the town to seeand hear
Squawking just asnoisily as they can
And each loud, biddly-gee and biddly-goo, biddly-gare,
biddly-gah, would landlike a trumpet on the ear
As if to say,Here lives a wealthy man
OyIf I were a rich man,
Ya-ba-dubba-dubba-dubbadubba-dubba-dubba-dum
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum if I
were a wealthy man Iwouldn't have to work hard
Ya-ba-dubba-dubba-dubbadubba-dubba-dubba-dum
If I were a biddy-biddyrich,idle-diddle-didle-didle
man
I see my wife, my Golde,looking like a rich man's wife,
with a proper double-chin
Supervising meals to herheart's delight
I see her putting on airsand strutting like a peacock
Oy, what a happy moodshe's in
Screaming at the servantsday and night
OyIf I were a rich man,
Ya-ba-dubba-dubba-dubbadubba-dubba-dubba-dum
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum
If I were a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work hard
Ya-ba-dubba-dubba-dubbadubba-dubba-dubba-dum
Lord who made the lion andthe lamb, you decreed I should
be what I am Would it spoil some vast eternal plan,
if I were a wealthy man
