Matchmaker, Matchmaker (From "Fiddler on the Roof")

Matchmaker, Matchmaker - Original Cast Recording

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

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

For papa make him a scholar

For mama make him rich as a king

For me well I wouldn't holler

If her 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 a match of my own

Matchmaker matchmaker you know that I'm

Still very young please take your time

Up to this minute I've misunderstood

That I could be stuck for good

Dear mama see that he's gentle

Remember you were also a bride

It's not that I'm sentimental

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
