Hodel:
Well, somebody has to arrange the matches,
Young people can't decide these things themselves.

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 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 have only one Rabbi and he has only 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 do 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.

There's something twisted and strange about this thread.. it's giving me the heebie jeebies. Aaron, you don't have a crush on Donny do you?

No, he keeps trying to pawn Belinda off on me though.

I like Belinda and all...but......

LOL.

I just found this thread.

That was a really good movie.


"If I were a rich man..."



But seriously...

This should explain it:

"[09:53] AaronM: You should feel special. You have a thread directed to you on GFY.
[09:53] DonovanPhillips: Found it. LOL.
[09:54] DonovanPhillips: Belinda just woke up and came in here and pulled my armpit hair when I was stretching. Now she's talking about how someone should shoot that fake kidnapped woman."



I just don't need a hot chick tugging on my armpit hear when she wakes up in the morning. That's a great way to distract me and then nothing would ever get done besides a bunch of fucking....And who wants that? :disgust

You don't like being the "pawnee"?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

And now she's reading post #8 and looking confused as hell. She hasn't been caught up on our conversations.

If you were taking care of business then she would not be able to read post #8.

Hmmm....Maybe I should come down there and show you how things should be done.

Please do. She's sitting her telling me how things should be from her perspective at the moment. LOL
