F (I) Matchmaker, Matchmaker, F6 I'll bring the veil, F (maj 7) you bring the groom, F6 Slender and pale. F (I) Bring me a ring for I'm longing to be, The Bb (IV) envy of C7 (V7) all I F (I) see. bb (iv) For Papa, [Eb7] make him a scholar. For [Ab] mama, make him rich as a king. For g (ii) me, well, C7 (V7) I wouldn't holler if f (iv) he were as F7 (IV7) handsome as bb (iv) any- C7 (V7) thing.

F (I) Matchmaker, Matchmaker, F6 make me a match, F (maj 7) find me a find, 

F6 catch me a catch, F (I) night after night in the F7 (I7) dark I'm alone so 

Bb (IV) find me a C7 (V7) match of my F (I) own.

Spoken: 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’re 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!

F6 Please, take your time. F (I) Up to this minute, I F7 (I7) misunderstood That 

Bb (IV) I could get C7 (V7) stuck for F (I) good.

Dear bb (iv) Yenta, [Eb7] See that he's gentle re- [Ab] member, you were also a bride. It's g (ii) not that C7 (V7) I'm sentimental It's f (i) just bb (iv) that I'm terri- 

C7 (V7) fied!

F (I) Matchmaker, Matchmaker, F6 plan me no plans F (maj 7) I'm in no rush 

F6 maybe I've learned F (I) playing with matches a F7 (I7) girl can get burned So, Bb (IV) bring me no ring, bb (iv) groom me no groom, F/A find me no find, 

G7 (II7) catch me no C (V) catch unless he's a C7 (V7) matchless F (I) match.
