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 news
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
Ah, 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
(getting low)
Flamingoes in the pink and Yeah, stay low!
Chasing secretary birds
(shh, not a sound)
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds
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
