[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 Rabbi??s son.

Hodel:
Well, why not?
We have only one Rabbi and he has only one son.
Why shouldn??t I want the best?

[Tzeitel]
Because you??re a girl from a poor family.
So whatever Yenta brings, you??ll take, right?
Of course right!

(throws scarf over her head, imitating Yenta)
(singing)

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??ll 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 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
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 perfect match!
