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 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

What are you doing, son?
Pouncing.
Let an old pro show you how it's done.

Oh! 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(Yeah, okay,
Stay low to the ground, right!)Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds(Shh, not a sound)
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 —)
Awk!

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.
