Artist: LyricsSong: Matchmaker

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 hollerIf 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.

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 be alright.

Did you think you'd get a prince?

Well I do 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 Yenta,

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 plansI'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.
