Look through your book
And make me a
Perfect match

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

Night after night
In the dark I'm alone
So find me a match
Of my own
Hodel oh Hodel
Have I got 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 ifyou're not
There's more to life than that
Don't ask me what.
Chava I've found him
You'll 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've heard he has a temper
He'll beat you every night
But only when he's sober
So you're alright.
Did you think you'd get a prince
Well I'd do the best I can
With no dowry no money
no family background,
Be glad you've got a man! ! !
Matchmaker matchmaker
You know that I'm
Still very young
Please take your time
Up to this minute
I've 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 leamed
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
match less match!
