Matchmaker, 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 |
| 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 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. |
| Chava, Since when are you in a match? |
| I thought you just had your eye on your books. |
| Yes! |
| And you have your eye on the Rabbi’s son. |
| Well, why not? |
| We only have one Rabbi |
| He only has one son. |
| Why shouldn’t I want the best? |
| Because you’re a girl from a poor family. |
| And 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 your alright. |
| Did you think you’d get a prince? |
| Well I’ll find the best I can. |
| With no money, no dowry, no family background |
| Be glad you got a man! |
| Matchmaker, Matchmaker, |
| You know that I’m |
| Still very young. |
| Please, take your time. |
| Up to this minute, |
| I misunderstood |
| That I could get stuck for good. |
| Dear Yente, |
| 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. |
