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 her 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 a match of my own
Since when were you interested in a match, Chava?
I thought you just had your eye on your books
And you, you have your eye on the Rabbi's son
Why not?
We only have one Rabbi and he only has one son
Why shouldn't I want the best?
Because you're a girl from a poor family
So 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 you're 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've 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 Yenta, 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
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 her 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 a match of my own
