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.
