Samuel E. Wright feat. Scott Irby-Ranniar & Geoff Hoyle -
The Lion King (Original 1997 Broadway Cast Recording)
The Morning Report
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
(Mufasa: What are you doing, son?)
(Simba: Pouncing.)
(Mufasa: Let an 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(getting low!)
Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herdsShh, not a sound
Moving down the rank and fileTake it slow
To near the bottom rungOne more step
Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dungThen 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
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

Every grunt, roar, and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report
