Matchmaker, 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 Mom, make him as rich as a king

And me, 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 strike me a match of my own

My own

Matchmaker, matchmaker, you know that I'm

Still very young, please take your time

Up to this minute I misunderstood

That I could be stuck for good

Dear Mama, 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 perfect match (Ooh)
