I'll work on this as the day goes on and it's just about there.
How Low Can You Go?
Characters:
Corporate Tax Attorneys;Darth Vader
Corporate Tax Lawyer (CTL)
Dancing Bankers
Tax Code Thumping Legislators
Jedi 99% Musicians (singers)
Jedi 99% Tax Payer Dancers
Props: limbo bar, tax code books (light cheap paper backs covered in brown
paper with the words “7.4 million word tax code” written on them.), blue
tarp dance floor.
Plot: the Tax Attorneys/Lawyers are having a Limbo party. The limbo bar
represents the tax code, they make it harder for Jedis to get through and
easier for the Dancing Bankers.
Darth Vader holds one end of the bar, a Tax Lawyer holds the other end.
Legislators “bible thump” the tax code, saying that taxes are too high.
Some of the Jedis are musicians, some are tax payers. Everyone is dancing,
CTL, bankers and Jedis and take a turn going under the tax bar. But when a
CTA/Banker approaches the bar, Darth Vader and the CTL lift the bar let
them by and when a Jedi-99% tries to go through, they keep the bar chest
high so they can’t get by.
The Jedis chant, “Start again! Start from Scratch! That old tax code is a
bunch of crap”. And when they do, the musicians stop until the bankers
chant: “No, leave it alone, we like it that way! Tweak it here! Tweak it
there! The tax codes great,! It’s the Ship of State!”a
When the Jedis complain that they can’t get by, the Tax Code Thumping
Lawyers/Accountants quote some inane passage from the tax code and ask for
money. At a certain moment the Tax Code Thumping Legislators stop the
music and announce tax code reform that means musicians will be taxed for
performing in a public place. A battle ensues with the Tax Code Thumping
Legislators throwing books at the Jedi’s, and the Jedis fighting back. The
Jedis win by knocking Darth Vader down and wrapping him in the blue tarp.
Limbo Rock lyrics
Chubby Checker- Limbo Rock
Every Limbo boy and girl
All around the Limbo World
Gonna do the Limbo Rock
All around the Limbo Club
Jack, be Limbo! Jack, be quick!
Jack, go under Limbo stick!
All around the Limbo Club!
Hey, let’s do the Limbo Rock!
Ahahahou!
Limbo low now!
Limbo low now!
How low, can you go?
But she’s by the Limbo beat,
When you move to Limbo beat
Limbo ain't and Limbo beat!
When back light to Limbo beat!
Jack, be Limbo! Jack, be quick!
Jack, go under Limbo stick!
All around the Limbo Club!
Hey, let’s do the Limbo Rock!
Ahahahou!
Lalalalala…
Get you super, Limbo Girl!
Give they check to Limbo World!
There’s a Limbo Moon above,
You will fall in Limbo love!
Jack, be Limbo! Jack, be quick!
Jack, go under Limbo stick!
All around the Limbo Club!
Hey, let’s do the Limbo Rock!
Ahahahou!
Don’t move in Limbo stork!
You're a Limbo stork!
How low, can you go?
