If I Were A Rich Man The Magnetic Fields

If I were a rich man
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da dum
All day long I'd da da da da da
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Da da da da da da da da man

I'd build a big, tall house with rooms by the dozen
Right in the middle of the town
A 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 leading nowhere, just for show

I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear
Squawking just as nosily as they can
And each loud quack and cluck and gobble and honk
Would land like a trumpet on the ear
As if to say, "Here lives a wealthy man."

If I were a rich man
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Da da da da da da da da man
