Allan Sherman - If I Were A Tishman lyrics
rate meParody of "If I Were A Rich Man" from Fiddler On The Roof) <br />
Oh, New York is changing.<br />
Wherever you look,<br />
Big tall buildings by Tishman<br />
Tishman, ahh... <br />
If I were a Tishman,<br />
Yum di diddle didle doody didle diddy didy di<br />
(Yum di didle)<br />
All day long I'd buildy buildy build,<br />
If I were a building man. <br />
I'd build a lot of buildings,<br />
Yum di didle doody deedle didle deedle didle dum<br />
(Yum di didle)<br />
Building buildings anywhere I wish,<br />
If I were a Tishy Tishy Tish. <br />
I'd build the 666 5th Avenue building<br />
Right in the middle of the town,<br />
One block wide and forty-eight stories high.<br />
And I'd have eighteen elevators going up<br />
And twenty-seven more going down,<br />
All of them express to pass you by.<br />
(Di diddle di) <br />
I'd build a ladies room and also a mens room,<br />
Right there on each and every floor,<br />
Each one in a style that is apropos.<br />
And like the restrooms in the best office buildings,<br />
You'd need a key to open up the door,<br />
Though who would steal a bathroom, I dunno! <br />
Oh, if I were a Tishman,<br />
Yum di diddle doidle didle dadle doodle deedle dum<br />
(Yum di didle)<br />
All day long I'd buildy buildy build,<br />
If I were a building man. <br />
I'd build a lot of buildings,<br />
Yum di doodle dadle didle deedle didle dodle dum<br />
(Yum di didle)<br />
I could realize my life's ambish,<br />
Raising rents whenever I would wish,<br />
Telling tenants, "You can call me pish."<br />
If I were a rich Tishman <br />
