<br>
Tevye:<br>
AAAh! help help!<br>
<br>
Golde:<br>
Tevye? Tevye wake up<br>
<br>
(Tevye screams)<br>
<br>
What's the matter with you? Why are you howling like that?<br>
<br>
Tevye:<br>
Where is she? Where is she?<br>
<br>
Golde:<br>
Where is who? What are you talking about?<br>
<br>
Tevye:<br>
Fruma Sarah, the butcher's first wife. She was standing there a minute ago!<br>
<br>
Golde:<br>
What's the matter with you Tevye? Fruma Sarah's been dead for years! You must have been dreaming. Tell me what<br>
you dreamed and I'll tell you what it meant.<br>
<br>
Tevye:<br>
All right, only... don't be frightened! In the beginning I dreamt that we were having a celebration of some kind.<br>
Everybody we knew was there. Musicians too. Suddenly, in comes your grandma Tzietl, may she rest in peace.<br>
Naturally, I went up to greet her, and she said:<br>
<br>
(sung)<br>
<br>
Grandma Tzietl:<br>
A blessing on your head<br>
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)<br>
To see a daughter wed<br>
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)<br>
And such a son-in-law<br>
Like no-one ever saw<br>
The tailor Motel Camzoil<br>
<br>
Golde:<br>
(spoken)<br>
Motel?<br>
<br>
Grandma Tzietl:<br>
(sung)<br>
A worthy boy is he<br>
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)<br>
Of pious family<br>
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)<br>
They named him after my<br>
Dear uncle Mordachai<br>
The tailor Motel Camzoil<br>
<br>
(spoken)<br>
Golde:<br>
A tailor? She must have heard wrong. She meant a butcher.<br>
<br>
(sung)<br>
Tevye:<br>
You must have heard wrong Grandma<br>
There's no tailor<br>
You mean the butcher Grandma<br>
By the name of Lazer-Wolfe<br>
<br>
Grandma Tzietl:<br>
Noooo! <br>
I mean a tailor Tevye<br>
My great-grandchild<br>
My little Tzietl who you named for me<br>
Motel's bride was meant to be!<br>
<br>
For such a match I prayed<br>
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)<br>
In heaven it was made<br>
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)<br>
A fine upstanding boy<br>
A comfort and a joy<br>
The tailor Motel Camzoil<br>
<br>

Golde:<br>
But we announced it already!<br>
We made a bargain with the butcher!<br>
<br>
(sung)<br>
Tevye:<br>
But we announced it Grandma<br>
To our neighbors<br>
We made a bargain Grandma<br>
With the butcher Lazer-Wolfe<br>
<br>
Grandma Tzietl:<br>
Noooo No!<br>
So you announced it Tevye<br>
That's your headache<br>
And as for Lazer-Wolfe I say to you<br>
Tevye, that's your headache too!<br>
<br>

A blessing on your house<br>
