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

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, stay low!
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 pounce!
Aaaaaak!

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

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
