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
