Matchmaker Matchmaker

Make me a match

Find me a find

Catch me a catch

Matchmaker Matchmaker

Look through your book

And make me a perfect match

Chava:

Matchmaker Matchmaker

I'll bring the veil

You bring the groom

Slender and pale

Bring me a ring for I'm longing to be

The envy of all I see

Hodel:

For Papa

Make him a scholar

Chava:

For mama

Make him rich as a king

Chava and Hodel:

For me well

I wouldn't holler

If he were as handsome as anything

Matchmaker Matchmaker

Make me a match

Find me a find

Catch me a catch

Night after night in the dark I'm alone

So find me match

Of my own

(spoken)

Tzeitel:

Since when are you in a match Chava

I thought you just had your eye on your books

(Hodel chuckles)

Tzeitel con't:

And you have your eye on the Rabbi's son

Hodel:

Well why not

We only have one Rabbi and he only has one son

Why shouldn't I want the best

Tzeitel:

Because you're a girl from a poor family

So whatever Yenta brings you'll take right

Of course right

Hodel oh Hodel

Have I made a match for you

He's handsome he's young

Alright he's 62

But he's a nice man a good catch true

True

I promise you'll be happy

And even if you're not

There's more to life than that---

Don't ask me what

Chava I found him

Won't you be a lucky bride

He's handsome he's tall

That is from side to side

But he's a nice man a good catch right

Right

You heard he has a temper

He'll beat you every night

But only when he's sober

So you'll alright

Did you think you'd get a prince

Well I'll find the best I can

With no dowry no money no family background

Be glad you got a man

Chava:

Matchmaker Matchmaker

You know that I'm

Still very young

Please take your time

Hodel:

Up to this minute

I misunderstood

That I could get stuck for good

Chava and Hodel:

Dear Yente

See that he's gentle

Remember

You were also a bride

It's not that

I'm sentimental

Chava and Hodel and Tzeitel:

It's just that I'm terrified

Matchmaker Matchmaker

Plan me no plans

I'm in no rush

Maybe I've learned

Playing with matches

A girl can get burned

So

Bring me no ring

Groom me no groom

Find me no find

Catch me no catch

Unless he's a matchless match
