The Morning Report

The Morning Report is a song from The Lion King which is sung by Zazu as he reports to Mufasa. It is then picked up by Simba, who uses it to mock Zazu.

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 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 from lunchThis is the morning reportGives you the long and the shortEvery grunt, roar and snortNot a tale I distortOn 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 grassWarthogs have been thwarted in attempts to save their gasFlamingos in the pink are chasing secretary birdsSaffron is this season's color seen in all the herdsMoving down the rank and file to near the bottom rungFar 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 is slow, one more step. Then pounce! Zazu:...Are quite frankly in the dung. Simba:This is the morning reportgives you the long and the shortEvery grunt, roar, and snort, not a tale I distort,(muffled) On the morning report
