Introduction and Tradition
(Tevye-spoken)
A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no?
But here in our little village of Anatevka,
you might say every one of us is a fiddler
on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant,
simple tune without breaking his neck.
It isn't easy. You may ask, why do we stay
up there if it's so dangerous? We stay because
Anatevka is our home. And how do we keep our
balance? That I can tell you in one word,
tradition!
(Chorus-sung)
Tradition! tradition! tradition!
Tradition! tradition! tradition!
(Tevye-spoken)
Because of our traditions we've kept
our balance for many many years
here in Anatevka we have traditions
for everything -- how to sleep, how to
eat, how to work, how to wear clothes.
For instance, we always keep our heads
covered and always wear a little
prayer shawl. This shows our constant devotion
to God. You may ask, how did this tradition get
started?I'll tell you, I don't know, But it's a
tradition. And because of our traditions,
everyone of us knows who he is and what God
expects him to do.
(Tevye and men-sung)
Who day and night must scramble for a living
Feed his wife and children
Say his daily prayers and who
Has the right as master of the house
To have a final word at home
The Papa! The Papa! Tradition!
The Papa! The Papa! Tradition!
(Golde and women-sung)
Who must know the way to make a proper home?
A quiet home? A kosher home?
Who must raise a family and run the home
So papa's free to read the holy book?
The Mama! The Mama! Tradition!
The Mama! The Mama! Tradition!
(Male chorus-sung)
At three I started Hebrew school
At ten I learned a trade
I hear they've picked a bride for me
I hope she's pretty!
(Female chorus-sung)
And who must Mama teach
To mend and tend and fix
Preparing her to marry
Whoever papa picks?
The daughters! The daughters! Tradition!
(All-sung)
The Papa! The Mama!The Son! The Daughters!
Tradition!
(Tevye-Spoken)
And in the circle of our little village
We've always had our special types
For instance, Yente the matchmaker
Reb Nahum the beggar
and most important of all
Our beloved Rabbi,
(Rabbi's Son- Spoken)
Rabbi, may I ask you a question?
(Rabbi- Spoken)
Certainly.
(Rabbi's Son- Spoken)
Is there a proper blessing for the Tsar?
(Rabbi- Spoken)
A blessing for the Tsar? May God bless
and keep the Tsar far away from us!
(Male Singing)
Li li li li..........
(Tevye- Spoken)
There are the others in our village
They make up a much bigger circle
His honor, constable
His honor, the priest
His honor, many many others
We don't bother them, and so far
They don't bother us
But among ourselves, we always get
along perfectly.
Course there was the time when
Itzic (sp?) sold Avram
a horse and told him it was
only six years old but it was
really twelve. But now its
all over and everything is peaceful
again
It was twelve years old
(Itzic (sp?)- spoken)
It was six!
(townspeople start to fight)
Tradition! tradition! tradition!
Tradition! tradition! tradition!
(Tevye- Spoken)
Traditions, traditions
Without our traditions
our lives would be as shaky as,
as a Fiddler on the Roof!
(Fiddler starts playing music)
Note: I looked all over the internet to
see if someone had the full lyrics from
the movie- speaking included. I couldn't
find one, so I hope this helps people who
really like this version.
Matchmaker
(Hodel)
Tzeital, you're the oldest
Yente has to make a match for you
Before she can make one for me
(Tzeital)
Oh Yente, Yente
(Hodel)
Well, someone has to arrange the matches!
Young people can't decide these things
for themselves.
(Chava)
She might bring someone wonderful!
(Hodel)
Someone interesting,
(Chava)
and well off
(Hodel)
and important..
(sung)
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!
(Both)
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 a match
All my own
(Tzeital)
Since when are you interested in
A match, Chava, I thought you just had
Your eye on your books
[to Hodel]
And you have your eye on the Rabbi's son.
(Hodel)
Well, why not? We only have one
Rabbi, and he only has one son,
Why shouldn't I want the best?
(Tzeital)
Because your a girl from a poor family
So whatever Yente brings, you'll take.
Right, of course right!
Hodel, oh Hodel, have I made a match for you.
He's handsome! He's young! All right, 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've found him! Will 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've heard he has a temper.
(Hodel)
He'll beat you every night.
(Tzietal)
But only when he's sober
(Both)
So you're all right!
(Tzietal)
Did you think you'd get a prince?
(Chava)
Well I'll find the best I can!
(Tzietal and Hodel)
With no money? no dowry? 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've misunderstood
That I could get stuck for good.
(all three)
Dear Yente, see that he's gentle.
Remember, you were also a bride.
It's not that I'm sentimental.
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!
If I Were a Rich Man
(Tevye)
Oh, dear Lord, you made many, many poor people. I
realize of course, it's no ashame to be poor, but
it's no great honor either.
So what would have been so terrible,
If I had a small fortune?
If I were a rich man,
Yabbah dabbah dabbah yubbah dubbah dubbah dubbah dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Yabbah dabbah dabbah yubbah dubbah dubbah dubbah dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle diddle didle didle man.
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town.
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up,
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show.
I'd fill my yard with chicks
and turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear.
Squawking just as noisily as they can
And each loud ::makes animal noises::
Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man."
If I were a rich man,
Yabbah dabbah dabbah yubbah dubbah dubbah dubbah dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Yabbah dabbah dabbah yubbah dubbah dubbah dubbah dum.
If I were a biddy biddy rich,
Yidle diddle didle didle man.
I see my wife, my Golde,
looking like a rich man's wife
With a proper double-chin.
Supervising meals to her heart's delight.
I see her putting on airs
and strutting like a peacock.
Oh, what a happy mood she's in.
Screaming at the servants, day and night.
The most important men in town
would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise.
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes!
Ya da di, di di, ya dee di di, ya dee di di di
And it won't make one bit of
difference if i answer right or wrong.
When you're rich, they think you really know!
If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack
To sit in the synagogue and pray.
And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall.
And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men,
several hours every day.
That would be the sweetest thing of all.
If I were a rich man,
Yabbah dabbah dabbah yubbah dubbah dubbah dubbah dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
If I were a wealthy man.
I wouldn't have to work hard.
Yabbah dabbah dabbah yubbah dubbah dubbah dubbah dum.
Lord who made the lion and the lamb
You decreed I should be what I am
Would it spoil some vast, eternal plan?
If I were a wealthy man!
Sabbath Prayer
MOTHERS AND FATHERS
May the Lord protect and defend you.
May He always shield you from shame.
May you come to be
In Israel a shining name.
May you be like Ruth and like Esther.
May you be deserving of praise.
Strengthen them, Oh Lord,
And keep them from the strangers' ways.
(Tevye)
May God bless you and grant you long lives.
(Golde)
May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you.
May God make you good mothers and wives.
(Tevye)
May He send you husbands who will care for you.)
(ALL)
May the Lord protect and defend you.
May the Lord preserve you from pain.
Favor them, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace.
Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer. Amen.
To Life
(Tevye)
"Here's to our prosperity. To good health and
happiness. And most important,"
To life, to life, l'chaim
(Tevye & Lazar)
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life
(Tevye)
Here's to the father I've tried to be
(Lazar)
Here's to my bride to be
(Both)
Drink, l'chaim, to life, to life, l'chaim
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life
(Tevye)
Life has a way of confusing us
(Lazar)
Blessing and bruising us
(Both)
Drink, l'chaim, to life
(Tevye)
God would like us to be joyful
Even when our hearts lie panting on the floor
(Lazar)
How much more can we be joyful
When there's really something
To be joyful for!
(Both)
To life, to life, l'chaim
(Tevye)
To Tzeitel, my daughter
(Lazar)
My wife
It gives you something to think about
(Tevye)
Something to drink about
(Both)
Drink, l'chaim, to life
(Lazar)
"Reb Mordcha."
(Innkeeper)
"What is it, Lazar Wolf."
(Lazar)
"Drinks for everybody."
(Mendel)
"What's the occasion?"
(Lazar)
"I'm taking myself a bride."
(All)
"Who? ... Who?"
(Lazar)
"Tevye's eldest, Tzeitel."
(All)
"Mazeltove... ."
(All)
To Tzeitel, your daughter
(Lazar)
My wife
(All)
May all your futures be pleasant ones
Not like our present ones
Drink, l'chaim, to life
To life, l'chaim
L'chaim, l'chaim, to life
It takes a wedding to make us say
'Let's live another day'
Drink, l'chaim, to life
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps
In honor of the great good luck
That favored you
We know that
When good fortune favors two such men
It stands to reason we deserve it too
To us and our good fortune
Be happy, be healthy, long life
And if our good fortune never comes
Here's to whatever comes
Drink, l'chaim, to life
Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai
Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai
Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai
Dai dai dai dai dai dai dai...

Miracle of Miracles
Wonder of wonders
Miracle of miracles
God took a Daniel once again
Stood by his side and
Miracle of miracles
Walked him through the lion's den
Wonder of wonders
Miracle of miracles
I was afraid that God would frown
But like he did so long ago at Jericho
God just made a wall fall down
When Moses softened Pharoh's heart
That was a miracle
When God made the waters of the red sea part
That was a miracle too
But of all these miracles large and small
The most miraculous one of all
Is that out of a worthless lump of clay
God has made a man today.
Wonder of wonders
Miracle of miracles
God took a tailor by the hand
Turned him around and
Miracle of miracles
Led him to the promised land
When David slew Goliath
That was a miracle
When God gave us manner in the wilderness
That was a miracle too
But of all God's miracles large and small
The most miraculous one of all
Is the one I thought could never be
God has given you to me.
Tevye's Dream
Tevye: All right, This was my dream. In the beginning,
I dreamt we were having a celebration of some kind.
All of our beloved departed were there. And the
musicians...Even your great uncle Mordichai(sp?)
was there. And..and your cousin Rachel was
there. In the middle of the dream in walks your
Grandmother Tzietal, may she rest in peace.
Golde: Grandmother Tzietal? How did she look?
Tevye:Well for a woman who's dead 30 years she looked very
good. Naturally, I went up to greet her.

Grandma: They named him after my
Dear Uncle Mordichai
The tailor Motel Kumzoil
Golde:The tailor? She must have heard wrong,
She meant the butcher.
Tevye:I'll tell her
You must have heard wrong, Grandma! There's
no tailor.
Grandma: Huh?
Tevye: You mean the butcher, Grandma, by the name
of Lazar Wolf!
Grandma: No! No! No! I mean the tailor, Tevye,

you named for me, Motel's bride was
meant to be!
Oh, such a match I play!
All dead people: Mazel tof, Mazel tof

It's the butcher's dear darling departed wife.
Fruma Sara...(screaming)
Butcher's Wife: What is this about your daughter marrying my husband?
Random Ghosts Popping out of Graves: Yes, her husband!
Wife: Would you do this to your friend and neighbor Fruma Sara?
Ghosts: Fruma Sara!
Wife: Have you no consideration for a woman's feelings?
Ghosts: Woman's feelings!
Wife: Handing over my belongings to a total stranger?
Ghosts: Total stranger!
Wife: How can you allow your daughter to take my place?

Ghosts: How can you allow your daughter to take her place!
Ahhh!

Wife:

TEVYE!!!!!!!!
Tevye: She won't leave me alone, Golde!
Wife: (can't hear this line)
Tell me that it isn't true, then I wouldn't worry!
Ghosts: Wouldn't worry!
Wife: Say you didn't give your blessing to your daughter's marraige!
Ghosts: Daughter's marraige!
Wife: Let me tell you what follows if you have the wedding!
Ghosts: Have the wedding!
Wife: If Tzietal marries Lazar Wolf, I pity them both!
If she lives with him threeee weeks
And when three weeks are out.
I'll come to her by night,
I'll take her by the throat
And
HAHAHA!!
WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
WHOAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Here's my wedding present if she marries Lazar Wolf!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
Golde: It's an evil spirit, such a mean spirit, may it sink
back into the earth! What a dark, horrible dream! And
to think it was brought on by that butcher, my
Grandmother Tzietal, 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 couldn't
possibly be any better. Amen.
Tevye: Amen.
Golde: A blessing on my head
Mazel tof, Mazel tof
Like Grandma Tzietal said
Mazel tof, Mazel tof
We'll have a son-in-law
Like no one ever saw
The tailor Motel Kumzoil
Tevye: We haven't got the man
Golde: Mazel tof, Mazel tof
Tevye: We had when we began
Golde: Mazel tof, Mazel tof
Tevye: But since your grandma came
She'll marry what's his name?
Golde: The tailor Motel Kumzoil
Both: The tailor Motel Kumzoil
The tailor Motel Kumzoil
The tailor Motel Kumzoil
Sunrise, Sunset
(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
(Golde)
I don't remember growing older, when did they?
(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Quickly fly the days
seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
blossomming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
(Tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
(Golde)
Now they must learn from one another
day by day
(Perchik)
They look so natural together
(Hodel)
Just like two newlyweds should be
(Both)
Is there a canopy in store for me?
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
Do You Love Me?
Tevye: Golde, Golde, he's a good man.
I like him.
He's a little crazy but I like him. What's
more important, Motel likes her, Motel loves
her. What can we do? It's a new world, a
new world. Love...
Tevye: Golde, Do you love me?
Golde: Do I what?
Tevye:Do you love me?
Golde: Do I love you?
With our daughter getting married
and this trouble in the town
You're upset, you're worn out
go inside go lie down!
Maybe it's indigestion..
Tevye:Uh, Golde I'm asking you a question!
Do you love me?
Golde: You're a fool!
Tevye: I know, but do you love me?
Golde: Do I love you?
For twenty five years I've washed your clothes,
cooked your meals, cleaned your house,
given you children, milked your cow,
After twenty five years why
talk about love right now?
Teyve: Golde, The first time I met you
was on our wedding day.
I was scared
Golde: I was shy
Tevye: I was nervous
Golde: So was I.
Tevye: But my father and my mother
said we'd learn to love each other.
So now I'm asking Golde,
Do you love me?
Golde: I'm your wife!
Tevye: I know! But do you love me?
Golde: Do I love him?
For twenty five years I've lived with him, fought
with him, starved with him.
Twenty five years my bed is his.
If that's not love what is?
Tevye: Then you love me?
Golde: I suppose I do.
Tevye: And I suppose I love you too.
Both: It doesn't change a thing, but even so,
after twenty five years
It's nice to know.
Far From the Home I Love
Tevye: He asks you to leave your father and mother?
To join him in that frozen wasteland and marry
you there?
Hodel: No, papa, He did not ask me to go.
I want to go
Tevye: Hodel
Hodel: Papa
How can I hope to make you understand
why I do what I do?
why I must travel to a distant land,
far from the home I love.
Once I was happily content to be
as I was where I was
close to the peolple who are close to me
here in the home I love.
who could see that a man would come
who would change the shape of my dreams?
Helpless now I stand with him
watching older dreams grow dim
Oh, what a melancholy choice this is
wanting home, wanting him
closing my heart to every hope but his
leaving the home I love
There where my heart has settled long ago
I must go, I must go
who could imagine I'd be wandering so
far from the home I love
Yet there with my love I'm home.
Chavaleh
Tevye:
Little bird, little Chavaleh
I don't understand what's happening today
Everything is all a blur
All I can see is a happy child
The sweet little bird you were
Chavaleh..Chaveleh
Little bird, little Chavaleh
You were always such a pretty little thing
Everybody's favorite child
Gentle and kind and affectionate
What a sweet little bird you were,
Chavaleh, Chavaleh
Anatevka
Yente: Well Anatevka hasn't exactly
the Garden of Eden
Tevye: It's true
Golde: After all, what have we got here? A little bit
of this, a little bit of that
(people in Anatevka)
- a pot
- a pan
- a broom
- a hat
Tevye: Someone should have set a match to this
place years ago
- a bench
- a tree
- What's a house?
- or a stove?
- People who pass through Anatevka don't
even know
they've been there
- a stick of wood
- a piece of cloth
All: What do we leave? Nothing much.
Only Anatevka
Anatevka, Anatevka
Underfed overworked Anatevka
Where else could sabbath be so sweet?
Anatevka, Anatevka
intimate, obstinate Anatevka
Where I know everyone I meet.
Soon I'll be a stranger in a strange new place
Searching for an old familiar face
from Anatevka
Our beloved Anatevka
I belong in Anatevka
Dear little village little town of mine.
Golde: It's just a place
- Our forefathers have been forced out of
many many places at a moments notice
Tevye: Maybe that's why we always wear our hats.
