If I Were A Tishman - Sherman Allan

parody of "If I Were A Rich Man" from Fiddler On The Roof)



Oh, New York is changing.

Wherever you look,

Big tall buildings by Tishman

Tishman, ahh...



If I were a Tishman,

Yum di diddle didle doody didle diddy didy di

(Yum di didle)

All day long I'd buildy buildy build,

If I were a building man.



I'd build a lot of buildings,

Yum di didle doody deedle didle deedle didle dum

(Yum di didle)

Building buildings anywhere I wish,

If I were a Tishy Tishy Tish.



I'd build the 666 5th Avenue building

Right in the middle of the town,

One block wide and forty-eight stories high.

And I'd have eighteen elevators going up

And twenty-seven more going down,

All of them express to pass you by.

(Di diddle di)



I'd build a ladies room and also a mens room,

Right there on each and every floor,

Each one in a style that is apropos.

And like the restrooms in the best office buildings,

You'd need a key to open up the door,

Though who would steal a bathroom, I dunno!



Oh, if I were a Tishman,

Yum di diddle doidle didle dadle doodle deedle dum

(Yum di didle)

All day long I'd buildy buildy build,

If I were a building man.



I'd build a lot of buildings,

Yum di doodle dadle didle deedle didle dodle dum

(Yum di didle)

I could realize my life's ambish,

Raising rents whenever I would wish,

Telling tenants, "You can call me pish."

If I were a rich Tishman

parodie de "Si j'étais un homme riche" de Fiddler On The Roof)



Oh, New York est en train de changer.

Où que vous regardiez,

Grands immeubles hauts de Tishman

Tishman, ahh ...



Si j'étais un Tishman,

Yum di diddle didle doody didle didle diddy didy di

(Miam di didle)

Toute la journée, je construisais buildy buildy,

Si j'étais un homme du bâtiment.



Je construirais beaucoup de bâtiments,

Yum di didle doody deedle dided deedle didle dum

(Miam di didle)

Construire des bâtiments partout où je le souhaite,

Si j'étais un Tishy Tishy Tish.



Je construirais le 666, 5e Avenue

En plein milieu de la ville,

Un bloc de large et quarante-huit étages.

Et j'aurais dix-huit ascenseurs qui montent

Et vingt-sept autres en baisse,

Tous expriment pour vous passer.

(Di diddle di)



Je construirais une salle pour dames et aussi une salle pour hommes,

À chaque étage,

Chacun dans un style qui est à propos.

Et comme les toilettes dans les meilleurs immeubles de bureaux,

Vous auriez besoin d'une clé pour ouvrir la porte,

Bien que qui vole une salle de bain, je ne sais pas!



Oh, si j'étais un Tishman,

Yum di diddle doidle didle dadle doodle deedle dum

(Miam di didle)

Toute la journée, je construisais buildy buildy,

Si j'étais un homme du bâtiment.



Je construirais beaucoup de bâtiments,

Yum di doodle dadle didle deedle didle dodle dum

(Miam di didle)

Je pourrais réaliser l'ambish de ma vie,

Augmenter les loyers quand je le souhaite,

Dire aux locataires: "Vous pouvez m'appeler pish."

Si j'étais un riche Tishman
