Cantor Yaakov Lemmer Sings A Chazendl | חזן'דל – יעקב למר

Composed by the late Leo Low this classic humorously depicts the life of a struggling Chazzan (Cantor) and the auditions he needs to endure.
The song was refreshed in the 50’s by The Barry Sisters and here Yanky Lemmer and Avremi G further invigorate it with a current twist.
Lyrics:
Once a traveling Chazzan came into a small town looking for a job to Daven, oh! looking for a job to Daven,
And there came to audition him three of the leading citizens who heard him Daven three citizens who heard him Daven.
One was a Taylor man the other blacksmith man, the third one a driver man, a big husky driver man.

Oh the tailor man said he can Daven for me anytime oh! Is he a chazzan, ohwowo oh is he a chazzan,

And the blacksmith he said, he can Daven for me anytime oh! Is he a chazzan, by golly oh is he a chazzan,

Then said the driver man, how he can drive those notes, just like a big Mack truck ….. a big mack truck. Ohhhhh is he a chazzan, oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhh
Oh is he a chazzan!
CANTORIAL
