[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, matchmaker, matchmaker, I'll bring the veil
You bring the groom, slender and pale
Maybe a ring 'cause I'm longing to be
The envy of all I see

[Bridge]
For Papa, make him a scholar
For Mama, make him rich as a king
For me, no, I wouldn't holler
If he were as handsome as anything

[Verse 3]
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match
Find me a find, catch me a catch
Night after night in the dark I'm alone
So make me a match of my own

[Harmonica Solo]

[Bridge]
For Papa, make him a scholar
For Mama, make him rich as a king
For me, no, I wouldn't holler
If he were as handsome as anything

[Verse 3]
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 find
Catch me a catch
Make me a match of my own
Of my own, my own
Of my own
