The Morning Report

Good morning Sire!
Good morning Zazu!
Checking in with the morning report
Fire away

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

What are you doing, son?
Pouncing
Let and 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
Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds
Moving down the rank and file(Take it slow)
To near the bottom rung(One more step)
Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dung(Then 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
