The Morning Report Letras

[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, spoken]
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, spoken]
Zazu! The morning report!

[ZAZU, spoken]
Er - yes, Sire: the morning report!

(sung)
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 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, spoken]
What are you doing, son?

[YOUNG SIMBA, spoken]
Pouncing...

[MUFASA, spoken]
Ah. Let an old pro show you how it's done

[ZAZU]
The buffalo have got a beef[MUFASA]About this season's grass
Warthogs have been thwartedStay low
To the groundIn attempts to save their gas[SIMBA]
Yes, stayFlamingoes in the pinkLow[MUFASA]Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season's colorShh, not
A soundSeen in all the herds Moving down the rank and file
To near the bottom rungTake it slow
One more stepFar too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dungThenPOUNCE!AAAAHH!

[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
[ALL]
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
