Mr. Bug Goes to Town Page #5

Synopsis: In a vacant corner lot off Broadway (by about a yard) is a place called the Lowlands by the tiny community that lives there. Bugs and insects are neighbors and hang out at the Honey Shop of old Mr. Bumble the bee and his daughter Honey. Hoppity the grasshopper arrives to be with Honey, his sweetie. This bugs the crooked C. Bagley Beetle, so do his bunglers Smack the Mosquito and Swat the Fly. The Beetle wants Honey and the Lowlands for himself. But the Human Ones, with their littering and carelessness, pose a threat of destruction to every Lowland home of bug and beetle alike. Despite the doomsaying of Mr. Creeper, the snail, Hoppity finds hope of a new home behind the house of two Human Ones: Mary, who cares for a beautiful garden; and Dick, a struggling songwriter who puts his own hope on a Broadway hit to save his home.

and we're totting a darn heavy load.

But boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

We've got fun, we got

freedom, we got joy.

We got fun, we got freedom, we got joy.

Phooey!

We've got freedom, fun and joy.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

We got fun, we got freedom, we got joy.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

Caught a rainbow and

it's the real McCoy.

There are bumps bumps

bumps in the road,

and we're totting a darn heavy load.

But boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

We got fun,

we got freedom,

we got joy, oh boy, oh boy.

Boy!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

Awful nice of the human one

that let us live in her garden.

And she's pretty too.

Guess human ones ain't all so bad.

We'd all a'bin squoosh flat

if it hadn't been for you.

I didn't do anything.

Gosh, don't thank me.

Thank the lady human.

I-I can't understand it. She said that...

Ambrose, Murgatroyd!

Can I be of any help?

I, I-I-I'm awfully sorry.

If there's anything I can do I...

Hello Hoppity.

Now you've done it Mr. hopper.

In the dog house good and proper.

I knew it tweren't no use to go.

And I won't forget you told me so.

I'll be right back dad. I'm

worried about Hoppity.

O tay o'nny,

don't b lung.

Oh, Mr. Creeper, have you seen Hoppity?

Last I saw of him he was

headed towards the big fence.

Oh!

We're at 19 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.

Well, that's it Mary.

How do you like it?

Oh Dick, it's a beautiful song.

Beautiful.

Well I hope the publishers agree with you,

to the tune of a nice fat check.

I know they will and we can...

Meet the payments on this house

before they take it away from us.

Yes and we could fix up the lower garden

and the fence that's broken down

where the people walk through.

Of course its to to bad your young

friend had to fail so miserably, Bumble.

But under the circumstances,

wouldn't it be well to consider my

offer of marriage to your daughter.

I suggest you discuss the matter

with her at once, Bumble.

Well I'll...

I... ah... ah...

Achoo!

Mr. Bumble. Mr Bumble!

The human ones there going to

fix the fence and there also...

Oof.

Oh!

Uh-oh!

Pardon me Mr. Beetle.

Oh now Hoppity.

Honest Mr. Bumble!

The lady human knows all

about that fence being down.

And those humans coming through.
