Zazu: 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 Mufasa: Yes, yes, Zazu, get on with it! Zazu: In order that His Majesty stands sturdy at the helm Aware of all the fauna's latest views Mufasa: Zazu! The morning report! Zazu: 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 Mufasa: What are you doing, son? Simba: Pouncing Mufasa: Let and old pro show you how it's done Zazu: 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 Simba: Yeah, stay low! Zazu: Chasing secretary birds Saffron is this season's color Seen in all the herds Mufasa: Shh, not a sound Zazu: Moving down the rank and file Mufasa: Take it slow Zazu: To near the bottom rung Mufasa: One more step Zauz: Far too many beetles are Zazu: Quite frankly in the dung Mufasa: Then pounce! Zazu: Aaaaaa! 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! Mufasa, Zazu & 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!
