The Lion King The Morning Report Lyrics

[Zazu]
Good morning, sire!
[Mufasa]
Good morning, Zazu.

[Zazu]
Checking in with the morning report.
[Mufasa]
Fire away.

[Zazu]
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
Shown 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

[Mufasa]
What are you doing, son?
[Young Simba]
Pouncing
[Mufasa]
Let and old pro show you how it's done

[Zazu]
Oh, the buffalo have got a beef
About this season's grass
([Mufasa]Stay low to the ground)
Warthogs have been thwarted
In attempts to save their gas
Flamingoes in the pink and
([Young Simba]Yeah, Ok. Stay low to the ground)
Chasing secretary birds
([Mufasa] Shh, not a sound)
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds
Moving down the rank and file
([Mufasa]Take it slow)
To near the bottom rung
([Mufasa]One more step...)
Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dung
([Mufasa]Then... pounce!)
Aaaaaak!

[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
