Lion King Musical Song – The Morning Report:

Lyrics:
Zazu: (spoken)
Good morning, sire!

Mufasa: (spoken)
Good morning, Zazu.

Zazu: (spoken)
Checking in with the morning report.

Mufasa: (spoken)
Fire away!

Zazu:
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?

Simba: (spoken)
Pouncing.

Mufasa: (spoken)
Let an old pro show you how it’s done…

Zazu:
Oh, the buffalo have got a beef about this season’s grass
Warthogs have been thwarted in attempts to save their gas
Flamingos in the pink are chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season’s color seen in all the herds
Moving down the rank and file to near the bottom rung
Far too many beetles…

Mufasa: (in the background/spoken)
Stay low to the ground.

Simba: (in the background/spoken)
Yeah, okay, stay low to the ground, right.

Mufasa: (in the background/spoken)
Shh! Not a sound…
Take it slow.
One more step. Then pounce!

Zazu:
…Are quite frankly in the dung.

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
