Luyện nghe bài hát If I Were A Rich Man

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

If I a rich man
All day long I'd
If I were a man
I have to work hard
If I a biddy-biddy rich
Yaidle daidle daidle man

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

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

If I a rich man
All day I'd biddy-biddy-bum
If I a wealthy man
I have to work hard
If I a biddy-biddy rich
deedle daidle daidle man

I see my wife, my goldey, looking like a man's wife
With a proper chin
Supervising meals to her heart's
I see her putting on airs and strutting a peacock
Oy, what a happy mood in!
Screaming at the 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 would a rabbi's eyes
And it won't make one bit of difference if I right or wrong
When you're rich, they think you know

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

If I a rich man
All day long I'd
If I a wealthy man
I have to work hard

Lord who made the and the lamb
You decreed I should be I am
Would it spoil some vast, eternal
If I a wealthy man?
