Der Morgenreport

The Morning Report

Zazu
No honor is more precious to me,
I follow my duty
with dignity and conscientiousness.
Humbly, submissively
and cleverly I put weight
on timing along with a dash of eagerness.

Mufasa
Yeah, yeah, Zazu.

Zazu
I report to my ruler,
what's happening in his kingdom,
I tell him what he needs to hear.

Mufasa
Alright, Zazu. Get to the point.

Zazu
This way, His Majesty stays well-informed
and knows what his wildlife thinks and does.

Mufasa
Zazu! The Morning Report.

Zazu
Uh, yes, Your Excellency - the Morning Report.

Monkeys are acting silly and giraffes are standing tall
and the elephants are forming circles, non-stop at all.

The crocodiles invited me to be their lunch,
to then mourn my fate,

but I said, "Thanks, but no."
'Cause what a weird bird is,

the vulture knows too,

it can be funny, but never dumb,
otherwise, it ends up in someone's gut.

This is the Morning Report,
Highly interesting word for word.

You learn right here,
what's going on here and there,

through the Morning Report.

Mufasa
What are you doing, my son?

Simba
Practicing my sneak.

Mufasa
Let an old pro show you how it’s done.

Zazu
Buffalo calf buffing
on the buffalo grass by the pond.

Mufasa
Creep low and crouched.

Zazu
Warthog snorts
make even cheese turn pale.

Simba
Yeah, really low!

Zazu
Flamingos wear pink only
and tutus like chiffon,
for the rest, saffron yellow
is the color of the season.

Mufasa
Psst! No noise! Stay quiet and alert.

Watch out when a pretty
bug winks with its eyes,
because the prettiest ones are almost always where it stinks.

Mufasa
One more step... Now jump!

Zazu
Ahhhk!
