(Grandma)
A blessing on your head

(Rabbi)
Mazeltov, mazeltov

(Grandma)
To see a daughter wed

(Rabbi)
Mazeltov, mazeltov

(Grandma)
And such a son-in-law
Like no one ever saw
The tailor Motel Kamzoil

(Golde)
"Motel?"

(Grandma)
A worthy boy is he

(Rabbi)
Mazeltov, mazeltov

(Grandma)
Of pious family

(Rabbi)
Mazeltov, mazeltov

(Grandma)
They named him after my
Dear Uncle Mordecai
The tailor Motel Kamzoil

(Golde)
"A tailor! She must have heard wrong. She meant a butcher."

(Tevye)
You must have heard wrong, Grandma
There's no tailor
You mean a butcher, Grandma
By the name of Lazar Wolf

(Grandma)
No! I mean a tailor, Tevye
My great grandchild
My little Tzeitel who you named for me
Motel's bride was meant to be

For such a match I prayed

(Chorus)
Mazeltov, mazeltov

(Grandma)
In heaven it was made

(Chorus)
Mazeltov, mazeltov

(Grandma)
A fine upstanding boy
A comfort and a joy
The tailor Motel Kamzoil

(Golde)
"But we announced it already. We made a bargain with the butcher."

(Tevye)
But we announced it, Grandma
To our neighbors
We made a bargain, Grandma
With the butcher, Lazar Wolf

(Grandma)
No! So you announced it, Tevye
That's your headache
But as for Lazar Wolf, I say to you
Tevye, that's your headache too

(Chorus)
A blessing on your house, mazeltov, mazeltov
Imagine what a spouse, mazeltov, mazeltov
And such a son-in-law
Like no one ever saw
The tailor Motel Kamzoil

The tailor Motel Kamzoil

(Tevye)
The tailor Motel Kamz...

(Chorus)
Shah! Shah!
Look!

Who is this?
Who is this?
Who comes here?
Who? Who? Who? Who?
What woman is this
By righteous anger shaken?

(Solo Voices)
Could it be?
Sure?
Yes it could?
Why not?
Who could be mistaken?

It's the butcher's wife come from beyond the grave
It's the butcher's dear darling departed wife
Fruma-Sarah, Fruma-Sarah
Fruma-Sarah, Fruma-Sarah, Fruma-Sarah, Fruma-Sarah

(Fruma-Sarah)
Tevye! Tevye!
What is this about your daughter marrying my husband?

(Chorus)
Yes, her husband

(Fruma-Sarah)
Would you do this to your friend and neighbor, Fruma-Sarah

(Chorus)
Fruma-Sarah

(Fruma-Sarah)
Have you no consideration for a woman's feelings

(Chorus)
Woman's feelings?

(Fruma-Sarah)
Handing over my belongings to a total stranger?

(Chorus)
Total stranger

(Fruma-Sarah)
How can you allow it, how?
How can you let your daughter take my place?
Live in my house... Carry my keys
And wear my clothes... pearls... how?

(Chorus)
How can you allow your daughter
To take her place...

(Fruma-Sarah)
Pearls...

(Chorus)
House... Keys... Clothes... How?

(Fruma-Sarah)
Such a learned man as Tevye wouldn't let it happen

(Chorus)
Let it happen

(Fruma-Sarah)
Tell me that it isn't true and then I wouldn't worry

(Chorus)
Wouldn't worry

(Fruma-Sarah)
Say you didn't give your blessing to your daughter's marriage

(Chorus)
Daughter's marriage

(Fruma-Sarah)
Let me tell you what would follow such a fatal wedding

(Chorus)
Fatal wedding, shh!!

(Fruma-Sarah)
If Tzeitel marries Lazar Wolf
I pity them both
She'll live with him three weeks
And when three weeks are up
I'll come to her by night
I'll take her by the throat
And...
This I'll give you Tzeitel
That I'll give you Tzeitel
This I'll give you Tzeitel
Here's my wedding present if she marries Lazar Wolf!

(Golde)
"It's an evil spirit! May it sink into the river; may it fall into the earth. Such a dark and horrible dream. And to think it was brought on by that butcher. If my grandmother, Tzeitel, may she rest in peace, took the trouble to come all the way from the other world to tell us about the tailor, all we can say is that it's all for the best, and it couldn't possibly be any better. Amen."

(Tevye)
"Amen."

(Golde)
A blessing on my head, mazeltov, mazeltov
Like Grandma Tzeitel said, mazeltov, mazeltov
We'll have a son-in-law
Like no one ever saw
The tailor Motel Kamzoil

(Tevye)
We haven't got the man

(Golde)
Mazeltov, mazeltov

(Tevye)
We had when we began

(Golde)
Mazeltov, mazeltov

(Tevye)
But since your Grandma came
She'll marry what's his name?

(Golde)
The tailor Motel Kamzoil

(Both)
The tailor Motel Kamzoil
The tailor Motel Kamzoil
The tailor Motel Kamzoil
