Match Maker

Jack and his brothers were all doing their chores . They were talking about the matches that the match maker had been doing lately .

"Well, somebody has to arrange the matches,"Race said grabbing one of the blankets .

"She might bring someone wonderful----" Davey said

"Someone interesting----" Race wiggled his brows

"And well off----" Davey smiled .

"And important---" Race began and grabbed Davey's hand "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." Davey sang dancing with Race in a circle .

"For Papa, Make her a scholar." Race smiled

"For mama, Make him rich as a king.!" Davey said

"For me, well, I wouldn't holler If she were as beautiful as anything! " the two sang together then ran to Jack . "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."


"Since when are you in a match, Davey? I thought you just had your eye on your books." Jack said interrupting their little song .

Race began to laugh at Davey .
"And you have your eye on the Rabbi's daughter !" Jack said pointing at Race .

"Well, why not? We only have one Rabbi and he only has one daughter
Why shouldn't I want the best?" Race asked

"Because you're a girl from a boy family.
So whatever Yenta brings, you'll take, right?
Of course right!" Jack said and grabbed one of the scarfs and placed it over his head and began to pretend to be Yenta . "Race , oh Race!
Have I made a match for you!
She's beautiful , she's young!
Alright, she's 62.
But he's a nice lady ,a good catch, true?
True." Jack said and wrapped his hand around Race's arms. "I promise you'll be happy, And even if you're not, There's more to life than that---
Don't ask me what." Jack said and let go of Race and ran to Davey .

"Davey , I found her ! Won't you be a lucky groom ! She's handsome, she's tall,That is from side to side. But she's a nice lady ,a good catch, right? Right." He smirked "You heard she has a temper. She'll beat you every night, But only when she's sober, So you'll be alright." Jack said

"Did you think you'd get a princess ?
Well I'll find the best I can.
With no dowry, no money, no family background
Be glad you got a woman!" Jack yelled and put the scarf off .

"Matchmaker, Matchmaker, You know that I'm Still very young. Please, take your time." Davey said

"Up to this minute, I misunderstood That I could get stuck for good." Race said

"Dear Yente, See that she's gentle
Remember, You were also a groom It's not that I'm sentimental" the two sang.

"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 boy can get burned So, Bring me no ring Groom me no groom Find me no find Catch me no catch Unless she's a matchless match.!" They all sang and ran inside because they were down with their chores .
