When I'm feeling sad and low
And don't know what to do
I climb the stairs and leave it all behind
Far away the world below
I rise to play my tune
Feeling one of a kind
Fiddler on the Rooftop I'm playing my song
Right beneath the sunny sky that's where I belong
There's one place I can tell you
Just listen when I go
A simple little melody with all my heart and soul
Fiddler on the Rooftop I'm playing my song
While walking through the valley
From the north down to the south
People start to follow me and sing
Arriving into town much later
Then the word of mouth
A grand reception as if I were king
Everybody knew my tune
They sang it note for note
They put their heart and soul in every line
I climbed up on the Rooftop
And "boy that's all she wrote"
Playing your song and mine
There's no need to question
There's only one direction
When you're down and out
Fiddler on the Rooftop
Rosin' up your bow
And raise it up and let it out!
Fiddler on the Rooftop I'm playing my song
Right beneath the sunny sky that's where I belong
Just listen when I go
A simple little melody with all my heart and soul
Fiddler on the Rooftop I'm playing my song
