I saw this movie when I was about 11 years old and I have not seen any part of it again until this very moment in time. I can remember this song the most because I have been singing it ever since the day I first heard it!! This only the second time I have heard it and it gives me goose bumps!!! Thank you so much for posting this little gem, I just wish they made them like this again, but it can never happen and somehow I am ok with that.
If I were a rich man Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum All day long I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man- I wouldn't have to work hard! Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum If I were a biddy biddy rich~ Idle deedle daidle daidle man I'd build a big tall house- With the 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 turkey's and geese- and ducks for the town to see and here~ Squawking just as noisely as they can~ And each go agay, and a ago, and aga, and aca! Will land like a trumpet on the ear! As if to say, here lives a wealthy man..~ If I were a rich man.. Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum All day long I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man- I- I wouldn't have to work hard! Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum! If I were a biddy biddy rich- Idle deedle daidle daidle man... I'd see my wife, my Golde~ Looking like a rich mans wife- With a proper double chin~ Supervising meals to her hearts delight~ I'd see her putting on airs andstrutting like a peacock "Oh what a happy mood she's in!"~ Screaming at her servants day and night~ *s c r e e c h* The most important men in town will come to fawn on me~~ They will ask me to advise them, like a Solomon the Wise~ "If you please, Reb Tevye", "Pardon me, Reb Tevye"- Posing problems tha would cross a rabbi's eyes!!~ Yee da-dee da da!~ Yah da da da!~ (x3) Da!~ And it won't make one bit of difference- If I answer right or wrong When you're rich they think you really know...~ 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 learned books with the learned men, seven hours every day.. And that would be, the sweetest thing of all~ If I were a rich man Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum All day long I'd biddy biddy bum If I were a wealthy man- I wouldn't have to work hard! Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby 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!!!!~~~~~

If I were a wealthy man-

If I were a biddy biddy rich~
Idle deedle daidle daidle man
I'd build a big tall house-
With the 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 turkey's and geese-
and ducks for the town to see and here~
Squawking just as noisely as they can~
And each go agay, and a ago, and aga, and aca!
Will land like a trumpet on the ear!
As if to say, here lives a wealthy man..~
If I were a rich man..
Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man-
I- I wouldn't have to work hard!
Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum!
If I were a biddy biddy rich-
Idle deedle daidle daidle man...
I'd see my wife, my Golde~
Looking like a rich mans wife-
With a proper double chin~
Supervising meals to her hearts delight~
I'd see her putting on airs andstrutting like a peacock
"Oh what a happy mood she's in!"~
Screaming at her servants day and night~
*s c r e e c h*
The most important men in town will come to fawn on me~~
They will ask me to advise them, like a Solomon the Wise~
"If you please, Reb Tevye", "Pardon me, Reb Tevye"-
Posing problems tha would cross a rabbi's eyes!!~
Yee da-dee da da!~
Yah da da da!~ (x3)
Da!~
And it won't make one bit of difference-
If I answer right or wrong
When you're rich they think you really know...~
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 learned books with the learned men, seven hours every day..
And that would be, the sweetest thing of all~
If I were a rich man
Yubby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum

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!!!!~~~~~
Amazing!!!!!
one of my top 5 fav movies
Nice! 😊🐝🌷
Being of Jewish descent, I have to say that this is entirely correct.
Actually having a home like this back in Russia would’ve made them for sure upper middle class
