モーニング・レポート

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!
(sung)
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 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
What are you doing, son?
Pouncing…
Ah. Let an old pro show you how it’s done
The buffalo have got a beef
About this season’s grass
Warthogs have been thwarted
Stay low
To the ground
In attempts to save their gas
Yes, stay
Flamingoes in the pink
Low
Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season’s color
Shh, not
A sound
Seen in all the herds
Moving down the rank and file
To near the bottom rung
Take it slow
One more step
Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dung
Then
POUNCE!
AAAAHH!
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
