Matchmaker-Milton Greene

Matchmaker (From "Fiddler on the Roof") - Milton Greene I wonder if Yenta the matchmaker found a husband for you Oh Yenta Yenta Yenta Well somebody has to arrange the matches Young people can't decide these things themselves She might bring someone wonderful Someone interesting And well off And important 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 he 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 match Of my own Since when are you in a match Chava I thought you just had your eye on your books And you have your eye on the rabbi's son Well 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 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 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 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
