The Lyrics

Let us be dav'ners, we'll chant all our prayers together
I've got my tallis right here in my bag
We can ride in my Saturn,
it just had a tune-up
So we drove off to go to our synagogue

"Ellen," I said, as we drove along Baltimore Avenue
"This city has too many cameras now -
I paid forty smackeroos
several weeks in succession
from making my way up to the synagogue"

Prayin' in the pews, shucklin' in sync with the minyan
She said the man up in front had a pretty good voice
I said "Be quiet, we're not s'posed to talk during T'filla..."

"Pass me the large print siddur, there it is on the book cart
I needed it nearly five minutes ago.
Show me the page" I demanded.
The service continued
And we all sang out loud in our synagogue

"Ellen, I'm lost," I said, right in the middle of Ashrei
"The leader is davening too fast for me."
Countin' the people
so that we can say Kaddish
We've all come to pray at the synagogue,
all come to pray at the synagogue

Countin' the people
so that we can say Kaddish
We've all come to pray at the synagogue,
all come to pray at the synagogue
all come to pray at the synagogue

I was reading this to the tune of the Yes cover (never heard Paul's). Good job!
