MARIACHI NIGHTMARE
by Al Angel

Al stands on a table center stage. He is flanked by James and Jamal.

Lights down and up.

Jamal incites the audience into stomping and clapping. Once everybody has a good rhythm going, Al recites the following lines, reading from a bible he holds in his hands. James and Jamal will repeat everything he says.

I don't want no beautiful dress
I don't want no bloody crucifix
I don't want no body to hold
I don't want no eternal soul
I don't want no sexual drive
I don't want no afterlife
I don't want no god to pray to
I don't want no one like you

I don't want no mariachi nightmare
I don't want no mariachi nightmare

When the singing is over, Al walks off the stage.

Blackout.
