If I Were a Rich Man (1964/1902)
Lewis Bock Jerrold / Sheldon Harnick
Fiddler on the Roof
The most important men in town will come to fawn on me
They will ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise
"If you please, Reb Tevye?"
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye?"
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes -
And it won't make one bit of difference
If I answer right or wrong
When you're rich they think you really know.
If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray,
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall,
And I'd discuss the learned books with the holy men
Seven hours every day
That would be the sweetest thing of all
