The Morning report

Originalmusik: Elton John
Originaltext: Tim Rice

[Zazu:]
Chimps are going ape,
giraffe remain above it all.
Elephants remember,
though just what, I can’t recall.
Crocodilles are snapping up,
fresh offers from the banks,
shown interest in my nest egg,
but I quickly said no thanks.
We havn’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.
It’s every grunt, roar, and snort,
it’s not a tale I disort,
on the morning report.

The buffalo have got a beef
About this season's grass
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
Moving down the rank and fileTo near the bottom rung
Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dung

Aaaaaak!

[Simba:]
This is the morning report,
gives you the long and the short.
It’s every grunt, roar, and snort,
it’s not a tale I disort,
on the morning report.

This is the morning report,
gives you the long and the short.
It’s every grunt, roar, and snort,
it’s not a tale I disort,
on the morning report.
