If I were a rich man,
Didle deedle didle deedle, deedle deedle didle dum.
All day ____________ I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a __________ man.
I wouldn't have to work ____________.
Didle deedle didle deedle, deedle deedle didle dum.
If I were a biddy biddy ____________,
Yidle- deedle - deedle -didle man.

I'd build a ____________ ____________ house with rooms by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town.
A ____________ tin roof with real ____________ floors below.
There would be one ____________ staircase just going up,
And one even ____________ coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.

I'd fill my yard with chicks and ................ and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear.
Squawking just as noisily as they can.
And each ____________ "quack","cheep" and "crable" and "honk"
Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man."

(chorus)

I see my............, my Golde, looking like a ____________ man's wife
With a ____________ double-chin.
Supervising meals to her heart's ................
I see her putting on ................ and strutting like a.................
Oy, what a ____________ mood she's in.
Screaming at the................, day and night.

The most ____________ men in town will come to fawn on me!
They will ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the ____________.
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
Posing ................ that will cross a rabbi's eyes!
And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or ____________.
When you're ____________, they think you really know!

If I were rich, I'd have the ................ that I lack
To sit in the ................ and pray.
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern .................
And I'd discuss ____________ books with the ____________ men, seven hours every day.
That would be the ____________ thing of all.

If I were a rich man,
Didle deedle didle deedle, deedle deedle didle dum.
All day ____________ I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a ____________ man.
I wouldn't have to work ____________.
Didle deedle didle deedle, deedle deedle didle dum.

Lord who made the lion and the................,
You decreed I should be what I am.
Would it spoil some ____________ ____________ plan
If I were a ____________ man?
