If I Were a Tishman

歌詞

(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
