Lyrics:

Hodel
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

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.

hodel
for Mama, Make Him Rich As A King.

chava And Hodel
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.

-- Spoken--

tzeitel
since When Are You A Match, Chava Ithought You Had Your Eye On Your Books.
(Hodel Chuckles)
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 Shhouldn't I Want The Best

tzeitel
because
You Are A Girl From A Poor Family. So Whatever Yente Brings, You'll Take, Right Of Course Right!

-- Singing --

tzeitel
hodel, Oh Hodel, Have I Made A Match For You.
he's Handsome! He's Young! All Right, 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've Found Him! Will 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've Heard He Has A Temper. He'll Beat You Every Night.
but Only When He's Sober- So You're All Right!

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 Get Stuck For Good.

chava And Hodel
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!

all Girls
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!
