Matchmaker Lyricsby Fiddler on the Roof Cast. From Fiddler on the Roof Matchmaker by Fiddler on the Roof Cast Hodel: Well, somebody has to arrange the matches, Chava: She might bring someone wonderful---- Hodel: Someone interesting---- Chava: And well off---- Hodel: 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 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 and 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 So find me match, Of my own. (spoken) Tzeitel: Since when are you in a match, Chava? I thought you just had your eye on your books. (Hodel chuckles) Tzeitel con't: And you have your eye on the Rabbi's son. Hodel: Well, why not? We only have one Rabbi and he only has 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'll find 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 misunderstood That I could get stuck for good. Chava and Hodel: Dear Yenta, See that he's gentle Remember, You were also a bride. It's not that I'm sentimental Chava and 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 matchless match.
