The Lyrics

I am she as you are you as we are we
And we are all together
See how we move like trees in the wind, see how we pray
We're davening...
Sitting on a padded pew...
waiting for the Rabbi's drash
Congregation convert, have a lovely Shabbes
Man you been a frummer yid. You let your beard grow long.
I am the davener, they are the daveners
I read the Torah, goo goo good jew

There is Cantor Kanter standing, praying and a swaying to and fro
See how he sings - he can improvise! Hear Adon Olam.
I'm smilin', I'm smi.........lin'
I'm smilin', I'm smi.........

Hello fellow shuckler,
over on the other side.
See you standin' upright, every single Kaddish,
boy, you must get tired, you're hardly ever sittin' down
I am the davener, they are the daveners
I read the Torah, goo goo good jew goo goo goo good jew

Meeting in our little classroom, now we're having fun.
Someone commits a pun, but never mind -
It's really futile to complain.
I am the davener, they are the daveners
I read the Torah, goo goo good jew goo goo goo good jew

Expert textpert vocal joker,
don't you love to make us laugh with you? (Ho ho ho! He he he! Ha ha ha!)
See how they smile at your humorous style, see how they groan
We're groaning...
Some are keener leaders,
singing out with all their power.
Practicing their prayers, learning Hebrew diction.
Man you should have seen them studying up a storm

I am the davener, they are the daveners
I read the Torah, goo goo good jew goo goo goo good jew
Goo goo good jew goo goo goo good jew goo goo
