  • 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
