Hodel: 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.
