Ludwig Von Koopa was sadly sitting on the Castle's balcony, overlooking his home, Darkland.

(Sung to the tune of "Old Bavaria")

Ludwig: Oh, how I miss the swipes and pipes and snipes of good old Pipe Maze
Oh, it's such bliss to kiss the bliss I miss like this in good old Pipe Maze
Oh, the secrets and dungeons and no sky
Not to mention hordes of beetles passing by...
Bring a tear to every single Koopa eye
In old...I'm talking old...good old Pipe Maze

"Mr. Von Koopa?" Edd and Eddy stepped out.

Ludwig snapped and growled at the kids. "YOU TWO! You humans have driven King Dad nuts! Prepare to die!" He raised his magic wand and started for the boys.

"Wait!" cried Eddy. "Your dad's the reason we're here!"

Ludwig continued stomping forward. "Are you threatening him!"

Edd cowered in fear, unsure of what to do or where to run. "Please! We want to produce your play!"

Ludwig stopped and put his wand down. "You...you mean 'Springtime For Bowser?' Really?"

Eddy smiled. "Yeah, it's great and full of...uh..."

"Action!" finished Edd.

"And great bits of Koopa...fun," continued Eddy.

Ludwig appeared to be considering this. "Well, I'll let you do it on one condition. You see, I love music, and if you dance well, you can put on the play!"

"I see no logic in that at all!" protested Edd.

"Shut up!" snapped Eddy. "We're ready, Koopa!"

Music began as Ludwig went into some odd dance moves. "Alright, you asked for it...ONE! TWO! THREE!"

(To the tune of "Guten Tag Hop-Clop")

Ludwig: Koop-a-doop hop hlop
Koop-a-doop clop clop
Koopa Troopa
And oh boy!
Koop-a-doop clap clap
Koop-a-doop slap slap
Paratroopa
What a joy!

Oh, dancing and prancing
And scaling and flailing
Scaling and failing
But never we're failing
Everybody!

(Edd and Eddy awkwardly dance along)

All: Koop-a-doop hop hop
Koop-a-doop clop clop...

Ludwig: Koop-a-doop
And doopy-ploop
So we koop our koops
And we doop our doops
And we loop through hoops
'Til we're pooped!

The dance went on for a while. The Eds found themselves hopping in every direction, even jumping off walls. A few plants popped out of some pipes and growled along in beat to the music. Finally, Ludwig stopped. "Boys, I like your dancing! You may produce the play!"

"Really?" cried Edd.

"Don't say that!" hissed Eddy. "He might change his mind!"

Ludwig frowned. "But you must first swear never to dishonor the name of King Bowser Koopa!"

Eddy headed back. "Yeah, sure, whatever! Let's go, Double D! We've got a director to find!"

"Finally!" smiled Ludwig, watching the boys disappear. "Even if they're humans,

they want MY play!
We're koopin' and doopin'
And floopin' and loopin'
Through hoops
'Til we're pooped
KING DAD'S GONNA BE PROUD!

Well, of course I wasn't about to put in Nazism in my story!
