Luyện nghe bài hát If I Were A Rich Man

Dear God, you made many, many poor
I realize, of course, it's no shame to be poor
But no great honor, either
So what have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?

If I a rich man
All day long I'd
If I a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work
If I were a biddy-biddy
Yaidle deedle daidle man

I'd build a big tall with rooms by the dozen
Right in the of the town
A fine tin roof real wooden floors below
There could be one long staircase just up
And one even coming down
And one more leading nowhere, just for

I'd my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese
And ducks for the town to see and
Squawking as noisily as they can
And each pa-pa-gee! pa-pa-gaack! pa-pa-gee! pa-pa-gaack!
Would like a trumpet on the ear
As if to say, "Here a wealthy man", oy

If I were a man
All day long I'd
If I were a man
I wouldn't have to hard
If I a biddy-biddy rich
deedle daidle daidle man

I see my wife, my goldey, like a rich man's wife
With a proper double
Supervising meals to her delight
I see her on airs and strutting like a peacock
Oy, what a happy she's in!
at the servants day and night

The most men in town will come to fawn on me
They will ask me to advise like a Solomon the wise
"If you please, Reb Pardon me, Reb Tevye?"
Posing problems that cross a rabbi's eyes
And it won't one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong
When you're rich, they think you really

If I were rich, I'd the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and
And maybe a seat by the eastern wall
And I'd the learned books with the learned men
hours every day
That be the sweetest thing of all, oy

If I were a man
All day long I'd
If I a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work

who made the lion and the lamb
You I should be what I am
Would it some vast, eternal plan
If I were a wealthy
