Matchmaker Lyrics

Fiddler On The Roof Matchmaker

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
Chava:
For mama, make him as rich as a king,
Hodel and Chava:
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 a match of my own.

Chava:
Matchmaker matchmaker, you know that I'm
Still very young, please take your time.
Hodel:
Up to this minute I misunderstood,
That I could get stuck for good.

Both:
Dear Yente, see that he's gentle.
Remember, you were also a bride.
It's not that I'm sentimental.
All three:
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.
