I'm just an old fashioned kind of gal who likes the idea of a man picking me up at my door and helping me in the car is how I'd like to be courted.
Being taken out to dinner and helped with my chair or maybe even a picnic would be nice and maybe dancing later would be also part of the courting scene especially if it's considered the very first date.Some hand holding and conversation would be nice too.
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.
Tater You probably strained your lower back from lifting to much. I have a bad back too caused by a auto accident and if I lift to much or sit or lay in one position to long my lower back becomes very painful and tightens up.
Maybe you do need to go to a doctor to see what's going on.
Does your work required to wear a back brass like they wear at Home Depot?
