The Lion King - Morning Report (Broadway Version)

Zazu:
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

Mufasa:
Yes, yes, Zazu, get on with it!

Zazu:
In order that His Majesty stands sturdy at the helm
Aware of all the fauna's latest views

Mufasa:
Zazu! The morning report!

Zazu:
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 and old pro show you how it's done

Zazu:
The buffalo have got a beef
About this season's grass

Mufasa:
Stay low to the ground
Warthogs have been thwarted
In attempts to save their gas
Flamingoes in the pink and

Simba:
Yeah, stay low!

Zazu:
Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds

Mufasa:
Shh, not a sound

Zazu:
Moving down the rank and file

Mufasa:
Take it slow

Zazu:
To near the bottom rung

Mufasa:
One more step

Zauz:
Far too many beetles are

Zazu:
Quite frankly in the dung

Mufasa:
Then pounce!

Zazu:
Aaaaaa!

Simba:
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, Zazu & Simba:
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!

i love this version much more than the movie version but it wouldn't have fit into the movie.

That being said the movie version didn't fit either. It was very abrupt I feel.

Downloading this by the way.
