If I were a rich man  
F               C  
Ya ha deedle deedle diggery doo  
F               C  
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum  
F               C  
If I were a wealthy man  
F               C  
I wouldn't have to work hard  
Dm                   A7  
Ya ha deedle deedle diggery doo  
Dm                   A7  
If I were a wealthy man  
F                C  
I’d build a big tall house  
F                C  
With rooms by the dozen  
F                C  
Right in the middle of the town  
F                C  
A fine tin roof and real wooden floors  
F                C  
There would be one long staircase just going up  
F                C  
And one even longer coming down  
F                C  
And one more leading nowhere, just for show  
F                C  
There would be a big, tall, empty wall  
F                C  
And I’d fill it all with portraits  
F                C  
Of all the rich and famous people  
F                C  
That I admire  
Dm                   A7  
And they would all be in my home  
Dm                   A7  
You can bet your boots  
F                C  
If I were a wealthy man
