if i were a tishman - allan sherman lyrics

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 p-ss 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
