IF I WERE A RICH MAN…

Why did you have to make my poor horse lose his shoe, just before the Sabbath? It's enough You pick on me, bless me with five daughters, a life of poverty. What have you got against my horse? I know it's no shame to be poor. But it's no great honor either.

If I were a rich man,

Daidle, Deedle daidle,

Digguh digguh 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,

Digguh digguh deedle daidle dum

If I were a biddy biddy rich

Digguh digguh deedle daidle man.
