Matchmaker

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 a match, of my own.

But only when he's sober, so you're all right.

-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 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.

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,

Unles he's a perfect match.
