Matchmaker Matchmaker Lyrics

[HODEL]

Matchmaker Matchmaker,

Make me a match

Find me a find,

Catch me a catch

Matchmaker, Matchmaker

Look through your books

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

[BOTH]

For me? well, i wouldn't holler

If he were as handome 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

[DIALOUGE:]

[Tzeitel]

Since when are you in a match, Chava? I thought you had your eye on your books.

(Hodel chuckles, Tzeitel turns to her)

And you have your eye on the RabbiÃ'Â's son.

Hodel:

Well, why not?

We have only one Rabbi and he has only one son.

Why shouldnÃ'Â't I want the best?

[Tzeitel]

Because youÃ'Â're a girl from a poor family.

So whatever Yenta brings, youÃ'Â'll take, right?

Of course right!

(throws scarf over her head, imitating Yenta)

(singing)

Hodel, oh Hodel,

Have I made a match for you!

HeÃ'Â's handsome, heÃ'Â's young!

Alright, heÃ'Â's 62.Fiddler On The Roof - Matchmaker Matchmaker - http://motolyrics.com/fiddler-on-the-roof/matchmaker-matchmaker-lyrics.html

But heÃ'Â's a nice man, a good catch, true?

True.

I promise youÃ'Â'll be happy,

And even if youÃ'Â're not,

ThereÃ'Â's more to life than that---

DonÃ'Â't ask me what.

Chava, I found him.

WonÃ'Â't you be a lucky bride!

HeÃ'Â's handsome, heÃ'Â's tall,

That is from side to side.

But heÃ'Â's a nice man, a good catch, right?

Right.

You heard he has a temper.

HeÃ'Â'll beat you every night,

But only when heÃ'Â's sober,

So youÃ'Â'll alright.

Did you think youÃ'Â'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've misunderstood

That I could be stuck for good

[BOTH]

Dear Yente, See that he's gentle

Remember, you were also a bride

It's not that I'm sentimental...

[CHAVA HODEL AND TZEITEL]

It's just that i'm terrified!

Matchmaker Matchmaker

Plan me no plans

IÃ'Â'm in no rush

Maybe IÃ'Â'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 heÃ'Â's a perfect match!
