The Morning Report
It's an honor and a privilege, a duty I performWith due sense of decorum and with prideWith deference and great respect very much the normPlus a hint of sycophancy on the sideTo lay before my ruler all the facts about his realmTo fill him in on all the beastly news
Yes, yes, Zazu, get on with it!
In order that His Majesty stands sturdy at the helmAware 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 allElephants remember, though just what I can't recallCrocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banksShowed interest in my nest egg but I quickly said "No thanks!"We haven't paid the hornbills and the vultures have a hunchNot everyone invited will be coming back for lunch
This is the morning reportGives you the long and the shortEvery grunt, roar, and snortNot a tale I distortOn the morning report
What are you doing, son?
Pouncing
Let an old pro show you how it's done
The buffalo have got a beefAbout this season's grassWarthogs have been thwartedIn attempts to save their gasFlamingoes in the pink andChasing secretary birdsSaffron is this season's colorSeen in all the herdsMoving down the rank and fileTo near the bottom rungFar too many beetles areQuite frankly in the dungAaaaaak!
