The Morning Report lyrics

It's an honor and a privilege, a duty I perform

With due sense of decorum and with pride

With deference and great respect very much the norm

Plus a hint of sycophancy on the side

To lay before my ruler all the facts about his realm

To fill him in on all the beastly news

Yes, yes, Zazu, get on with it!

In order that His Majesty stands sturdy at the helm

Aware of all the fauna's latest views

Zazu! The morning report!

Er-- yes, Sire-- the morning report

Chimps are going ape, giraffes remain above it all

Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall

Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banks

Showed interest in my nest egg but I quickly said "No thanks!"

We haven't paid the hornbills and the vultures have a hunch

Not everyone invited will be coming back for lunch

This is the morning report

Gives you the long and the short

Every grunt, roar, and snort

Not a tale I distort

On the morning report

What are you doing, son?

Pouncing

Let and old pro show you how it's done

The buffalo have got a beef

About this season's grass

(Stay low to the ground)

Warthogs have been thwarted

In attempts to save their gas

Flamingoes in the pink and

(Yeah, stay low!)

Chasing secretary birds

Saffron is this season's color

Seen in all the herds

(Shh, not a sound)

Moving down the rank and file

(Take it slow)

To near the bottom rung

(One more step)

Far too many beetles are

Quite frankly in the dung

(Then pounce!)

Aaaaaak!

This is the morning report

Gives you the long and the short

Every grunt, roar, and snort

Not a tale I distort

On the morning report

This is the morning report

Gives you the long and the short

Every grunt, roar, and snort

Not a tale I distort

On the morning report
