We're The Couple In The Castle
music by hoagy carmichael / lyrics by frank loesser
WE'RE THE COUPLE IN THE CASTLE  - sung by KENNY GARDNER AS DICK
MR. BUG GOES TO TOWN   -   1941
To compose the soundtrack for Mr. Bug Goes Goes To Town, Fleischer Studios brought in Hoagy Carmichael - one of Tin Pan Alley's most successful songwriters - to work with lyricist Frank Loesser and Sammy Timberg. Carmichael and Loesser collaborated on the film's main song We're The Couple In The Castle, and on Katy Did, Katy Didn't and I'll Dance At Your Wedding (Honey Dear). The movie was not a financial success, primarily because it was released in the theaters mere days before the outbreak of World War II. The movie's main song, We're The Couple In The Castle, also did not meet the hopes and expectations that it would become the hit song

WE'RE THE COUPLE IN THE CASTLE

We're at Nineteen Moonbeam Terrace,
Overlooking Starlight Square,
We're the couple in the castle
Way up high in the air!

On the corner there's a cloud bank,
And we bank our millions there
We're the couple in the castle in the air.
One day a daydream came a stealing

Through the gloomy part of town.
Well, that daydream brought us way up here
And we'll never come down
Call us Lord and Lady Stardust,

Call us crazy, we don't care,
We're the couple in the castle in the air
