Morning Report Lyrics

    ZAZU
    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

    MUFASA Spoken
    Yes, yes, Zazu, get on with it!

    ZAZU
    In order that His Majesty stands sturdy at the helm
    Aware of all the fauna's latest views

    MUFASA Spoken
    Zazu! The morning report!

    ZAZU Spoken
    Er - yes, Sire - the morning report

    Chimps are going ape, firaffes remain above it all
    Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall
    Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banks
    Showed interes 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 (sung) will be coming back from 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

    MUFASA Spoken
    What are you doing, son?

    YOUNG SIMBA Spoken
    Pouncing

    MUFASA Spoken
    Let an old pro show you how it's done

    ZAZU Spoken
    The buffalo have got a beef
    About this season's grass
    Warthogs have been thwarted
    In attempts to save their gas
    Flamingoes in the pink
    Chasing secretary birds
    Saffron is theis season's color
    Seen in all the herds
    Moving down the rank and file
    To near the bottom rung
    Far too many beetles are

    Sung
    Quite frankly in the dung
    Aaaaaaaaak!

    MUFASA
    Stay low to the ground
    Shh, not a sound
    Take it slow
    One more step
    Then pounce!

    YOUNG SIMBA
    Yeah, stay low!

    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

    MUFASA, ZAZU & YOUNG SIMBA
    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
