[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]
Let an old pro show you how it's done

[MUFASA, spoken & ZAZU]
(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)

[SIMBA, spoken & ZAZU]
Yeah, okay, stay low to the ground, right? (Flamingoes in the pink are chasing secretary birds)

[MUFASA, spoken & ZAZU]
Shh, not a sound! (Saffron is this season's color, seen in all the herds)
Take it slow (Moving down the rank and file to near the bottom rung)
One more step, then (Far too many beetles are quite frankly in the dung)

[SIMBA]
This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar, and snort
[ZAZU, spoken]
Huh!

[SIMBA]
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report

[ZAZU, spoken]
Ah!

[MUFASA, spoken]
Hahahahahahahaha
