All right, this was my dream.
In the beginning I dreamt we were having a celebration 
of some kind.
All our beloved departed were there and the musicians 
too. 
Even your great uncle Mordachai was there and your 
cousin Rachel, of course.
And in the middle of the dream, here walks your 
grandmother Tzietl, may she rest in peace. 

My Grandmother Tzietl? How did she look?

For a woman dead thirty years, she looks very good.
Naturally, I went up to greet her

(sung)

Grandma Tzietl:
A blessing on your head
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
To see a daughter wed
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
And such a son-in-law
Like no-one ever saw
The tailor Motel Camzoil

Golde:

Grandma Tzietl:

(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
Of pious family

They named him after my
Dear uncle Mordachai

butcher.

Tevye:

By the name of Lazer-Wolfe

Grandma Tzietl:

I mean a tailor Tevye
My great-grandchild
My little Tzietl who you named for me
Motel's bride was meant to be!

For such a match I prayed
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
In heaven it was made
(Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov)
A fine upstanding boy
A comfort and a joy

We made a bargain with the butcher!

Tevye:
But we announced it Grandma
To our neighbors

With the butcher Lazer-Wolfe

Grandma Tzietl:

Tevye, that's your headache too!

I'll come to her by night
I'll take her by the throat and
This I'll give your Tzietl
That I'll give your Tzietl

Here's my wedding present if she marries Lazer-Wolfe!

Such a dark and evil spirit!Let it fall into the river, 
let it sink into the earth!
Such a dark and horrible dream!
And to think, it was brought on by that butcher!
If my grandma Tzietl, may she rest in peace,
Took the time to come all the way from the other world 
to tell us
About the tailor all I can say is that it's for the 
best.
And couldn't possibly get any better. Amen.

Tevye:
Amen
