[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 RabbiÃÂ's son.
Hodel:
Well, why not?
We have only one Rabbi and he has only one son.
Why shouldnÃÂ't I want the best?
[Tzeitel]
Because youÃÂ're a girl from a poor family.
So whatever Yenta brings, youÃÂ'll take, right?
Of course right!
(throws scarf over her head, imitating Yenta)
(singing)
Hodel, oh Hodel,
Have I made a match for you!
HeÃÂ's handsome, heÃÂ's young!
Alright, heÃÂ's 62.
But heÃÂ's a nice man, a good catch, true?
True.
I promise youÃÂ'll be happy,
And even if youÃÂ're not,
ThereÃÂ's more to life than that---
DonÃÂ't ask me what.
Chava, I found him.
WonÃÂ't you be a lucky bride!
HeÃÂ's handsome, heÃÂ's tall,
That is from side to side.
But heÃÂ's a nice man, a good catch, right?
Right.
You heard he has a temper.
HeÃÂ'll beat you every night,
But only when heÃÂ's sober,
So youÃÂ'll alright.
Did you think youÃÂ'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
IÃÂ'm in no rush
Maybe IÃÂ'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 heÃÂ's a perfect match!
