  • Verse 1
    "Dear God, 
    you made 
    many, 


    many 
    poor 
    people. 

    I realize, 
    of course, 

    that 
    it's no shame 
    to 
    be poor. 

    But 
    it's 
    no great 
    honor 
    either! 

    So, what 
    would 
    have 
    been so 
    terrible if 

    I had 
    a small 
    fortune?" 

    Verse 2
    If I were a rich 
    man, 

    Ya 
    ha 

    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. 

    All 
    day long 
    I'd biddy 
    biddy 
    bum. 

    If 
    I were a 
    wealthy man. 

    I wouldn't 
    have to 
    work 
    hard. 

    Ya ha 

    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. 

    If 
    were 
    a biddy 
    biddy 
    rich, 

    Yidle- diddle- 
    didle- didle man. 

    Verse 3
    I'd 
    build 
    a big 
    tall house 

    with rooms 
    by 
    the dozen, 

    Right 
    in 
    the 
    middle 
    of the 
    town. 

    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 
    lead
    ing 
    nowhere, 

    just for 
    show. 

    Verse 4
    I'd 
    fill my yard 
    with 
    chicks 
    and 
    turkeys 

    and geese and 
    ducks 

    For 
    the town 
    to see 
    and 
    hear. 

    And 
    each 
    loud "cheep" 
    and 
    "swaqwk" and 

    "honk" 
    and 
    "quack" 

    Would 
    land 
    like a trum
    pet 
    on 
    the 
    ear, 

    As 
    if 
    to say 
    "Here lives 

    wealthy 
    man." 

    Verse 5
    If I were 
    a rich 
    man, 
    Ya ha 
    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. 



    All day long 
    I'd biddy biddy 
    bum. 

    If 
    were a wealthy 
    man. 

    I wouldn't 
    have 
    to 
    work 
    hard. 

    Ya 
    ha 

    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. 

    If 
    I were 
    biddy 
    biddy 
    rich, 

    Yidle- diddle- 
    didle- didle
    man. 

    Verse 6
    I see 
    my wife, 
    my Golde, 

    looking 
    like a 
    rich man's 
    wife 

    With 
    proper 
    double- 
    chin. 

    Su
    pervising 
    meals 
    to her heart's 
    delight. 

    see her 
    putting 
    on 
    airs 
    and 

    strutting 
    like 
    peacock. 

    Oy, 
    what 
    a happy 
    mood 

    she's in

    Screaming 
    at 
    the ser
    vants, 

    day and 
    night. 

    Verse 7
    The most 
    important 
    men in 
    town would 

    come to 
    fawn on 
    me! 

    They would ask 
    me 
    to 

    advise 
    them, 

    Like 
    a So
    lomon 
    the Wise. 

    "If 
    you 
    please, 
    Reb 
    Tevye..." 

    "Pardon 
    me, 
    Reb 
    Tevye..." 

    Posing problems 
    that 
    would cross 

    rabbi's eyes! 

    And 
    it 
    won't 
    make 
    one 
    bit 
    of 
    difference 

    if 
    answer 
    right 
    or 
    wrong. 

    When 
    you're 
    rich, 

    they 
    think 
    you 
    really know! 

    Verse 8
    If 
    I were 
    rich, 

    I'd 
    have 
    the time 
    that I lack 

    To 
    sit 
    in 
    the synagogue 
    and 
    pray. 

    And 
    maybe 
    have 
    seat 
    by 

    the 
    East
    ern 
    wall. 

    And 
    I'd 
    discuss 
    the holy 
    books 
    with the learned 
    men, 

    sev
    eral 
    hours 
    every 
    day. 

    That would 
    be the sweetest 
    thing 
    of 
    all. 

    Verse 9
    If 
    I were a rich 
    man, 

    Ya ha 
    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. 


    All day long 
    I'd biddy 
    biddy bum. 

    If 
    I were a 
    wealthy man. 

    I wouldn't 
    have 
    to work hard. 

    Ya 
    ha 

    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. 

    If 
    I were a biddy 
    biddy rich, 

    Yidle- diddle- 
    didle- didle man.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
