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
