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. <Spoken over next stanza> Since when are you interested in a match, Chava? I thought you just had your eyes on your books. And you have your eye on the rabbi's son! Well, why not? We have only one rabbi, he has only one son. Why shouldn't I want the best? Because you're a girl from a poor family. So whatever Yente brings, you'll take. Right? Of course right! </Spoken> |
Hodel, oh Hodel, have I made a match for you. He's handsome, he's young . . . all right, he's sixty-two, 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've found him, will 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've heard he has a temper, he'll beat you every night, But only when he's sober . . . so you're all right. 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've 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. Matchmaker, matchmaker, plan me no plan, 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! |

You come on like a dream, peaches and cream Lips like strawberry wine You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine You're all ribbons and curls, ooh what a girl Eyes that sparkle and shine You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine You're my baby, you're my pet We fell in love on the night we met You touched my hand, my heart went pop Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop |
You walked out of my dreams and into my arms Now you're my angel divine You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine You're my baby, you're my pet We fell in love on the night we met You touched my hand, my heart went pop Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop You walked out of my dreams, and into my heart Now you're my angel divine You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine |

Oh, what a night, late December back in '63 What a very special time for me As I remember what a night! Oh what a night, You know I didn't even know her name But I was never gonna be the same What a lady, what a night! Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room And I, as I recall it ended much too soon Oh what a night, Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me She was everything I dreamed she'd be Sweet surrender, what a night! |
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under Oh what a night! Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room And I, as I recall it ended much too soon Oh what a night, Why'd it take so long to see the light? Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right What a lady, what a night! I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder Straining my head around and taking my body under Oh what a night! |

I'll never say no to you Whatever you say or do If you ask me to wait for a lifetime You know I'll gladly wait for a lifetime or two Just to look at you I'll smile when you say be glad I'll weep if you want me sad Today is tommorrow if you want it so I'll stay or I'll go But I'll never say no I'll never say no to you Whatever you say or do If you tell me you want me to wait for a lifetime You know I'll gladly gonna wait for a lifetime or two Just to look at you |
I'll smile if you say be glad I'll weep if you want me sad Today is tommorrow if you want it so I'll stay or I'll go But I'll never say no I'll never say no to you Whatever you say or do If you tell me you want me to wait for a lifetime You know I'll gladly gonna wait for a lifetime or two Just to look at you I'll smile if you say be glad I'll weep if you want me sad Today is tommorrow if you want it so I'll stay or I'll go But I'll never say no |

Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her King. Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room, And heav'n and nature sing, Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains Repeat the sounding joy. |
No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found. He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love. |

I've grown accustomed to her face She almost makes the day begin I've grown accustomed to the tune she whistles night and noon Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs Are second nature to me now Like breathing out and breathing in I was serenely independent and content before we met Surely I could always be that way again and yet I've grown accustomed to her looks, accustomed to her voice Accustomed to her face |
I've grown accustomed to her face She almost makes the day begin I've grown accustomed to the tune she whistles night and noon Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs Are second nature to me now Like breathing out and breathing in I'm very grateful she's a woman and so easy to forget Rather like a habit one can always break and yet I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air Accustomed to her face |

He's so fine Wish he were mine That handsome boy over there The one with the wavy hair I don't know how I'm gonna do it But I'm gonna make him mine Be the envy of all the girls It's just a matter of time He's a soft-spoken guy Also seems kind of shy Makes me wonder if I Should even give him a try But then again he can't shy He can't shy away forever And I'm Gonna make him mine If it takes me forever |
He's so fine Gotta be mine Sooner or later I hope it's not later We've got to get together The sooner the better I just can't wait I just can't wait To be held in his arms If I were a Queen And he asked me to leave my throne I'd do anything that he asked Anything to make him my own For he's so fine So fine So fine |

When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around |
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind |

In a little café just the other side of the border She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water So I started walking her way She belonged to bad man, José And I knew, yes I knew I should leave When I heard her say, yeah Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone And the night is so long So we started to dance In my arms, she felt so inviting That I just couldn't resist Just one little kiss so exciting Then I heard the guitar player say "Vamoose, José's on his way" Then I knew, yes I knew I should run But then I heard her say, yeah |
Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone And the night is so long Then the music stopped When I looked the café was empty Then I heard José say "Man you know you're in trouble plenty" So I dropped my drink from my hand And through the window I ran And as I rode away I could hear her say to José, yeah Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man So big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone And the night is so long |
