Describe your behavior in hypothetical situations
“IF I were a rich man” Forms part oF
the famous theater play “Fiddler on
the RooF”.
If I were a rich man, dadada dedle
deedle dum.
All day long I´d biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man, I wouldn´t
have to work hard.
Dadada deedle.
..
If I were a biddy
biddy rich…
Dadada deedle dum.
I´d build a big tall house with rooms
by the dozen.
Right in the middle of the town.
A fne tin rooF
with real wooden oors below.
There would be one long staircase.
Just going up.
And one even longer coming down.
And one more leading nowhere, just
for show.
If I were a rich man, dadada dedle
deedle dum.
Al
day long I´d biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man, I wouldn´t have to
work hard.
Dadada deedle….
If I were rich, I´d have the time that I lack to
sit in the synagogue and pray.
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall.
And I´d discuss the holy books with
the learned men.
Seven hours every day.
That would be the sweetest thing of all If I
were a rich man, dadada deedle
deedle dum.
Al
day long I´d biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man, I wouldn´t have to
work hard.
Dadada deedle….
If I were a biddy biddy rich…
Dadada deedle 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!
