The Morning Report Lyrics - Singles - Lion King

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
