Matchmaker
Sung to the tune of "Matchmaker"
by Harnick and Bock
New lyrics by Ed Steffes
Matchmaker, matchmaker, make us a match
Find us a find, catch us a catch
Matchmaker, matchmaker, go through the batch
And pick out a perfect minister
We need a leader with vision and grace
Liberal ideas and a smile on his face
Who sees the world as a beautiful place
And not something dark and sinister
For skeptics, make him agonistic
For Christians, make him spiritual too
For me, well, I wouldn't mind it
If he had a website and a genius IQ
Matchmaker, matchmaker, we need a doer
Someone to make our dreams all come truer
Our goals are great but our pledges are fewer
So find us a fearless minister
We'd like a Lincoln and George Washington
Moses and Gandhi wrapped into one
Mother Teresa but a little more fun
Or maybe a famous moviestar
We should get someone Latino
A woman, a Buddhist, or maybe a Jew
Can you think of anyone we know
Who walks on the water and does yoga too?
Matchmaker, matchmaker,
we've tried them all
One time we tried to get Pope John Paul
Do you think maybe our order's too tall, to
Find us a find, fetch us a fetch
Make up our mind, catch us a catch
And make us a matchless match!
