matchmaker - laura michelle kelly lyrics

Loading...

[chava, spoken]
tzeitel you’re the oldest. yente has to arrange a match for you before she can make one for me

[tzeital, spoken]
oh yente, yente!

[hodel, spoken]
well, somebody has to arrange the matches
young people can’t decide these things themselves

[chava, spoken]
she might bring someone wonderful—
[hodel, spoken]
someone interesting—

[chava, spoken]
and well off—

[hodel, spoken]
and important—

(sung)
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 rich as a king

[chava & hodel]
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

[chava]
so find me match
of my own

[tzeital, spoken]
since when are you interested in a match, chava? i thought you had your eye on your books. and you have your eye on the rabbi’s son
[hodel, spoken]
well, why not?
we have only one rabbi and he has only one son
why shouldn’t i want the best?

[tzeital, spoken]
because you’re a girl from a poor family
so whatever yenta brings, you’ll take, right?

of course right!

(sung, intimidating yenta)
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?

[hodel]
right

[tzeital]
you heard he has a temper

[hodel]
he’ll beat you every night

[tzeital]
but only when he’s sober

[tzeital & hodel]
so you’re alright

[tzeital]
did you think you’d get a prince?

[chava]
well i’ll find the best i can

[tzeital & hodel]
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 misunderstood
that i could get stuck for good

[chava, tzeital & hodel]
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
