Jabberwocky Lyrics

Jabberwocky lyrics

Twas Brillig and the slithy Toves 

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe, 

All mimsy were the borogoves 

And the momeraths outgrabe. 



Beware the Jabberwock, my son, 

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! 

Beware the Jub-jub bird and shun 

The frumious Baudersnatch 



He took his vorpal sword in hand, 

Long time the manx-ome foe he sought, 

So rested he by the Tum Tum Tree 

And stood a while in thought. 



And as in uffish thought he stood 

The Jabberwock with eyes of flame 

Came whiffling thru the tulgey wood 

And burbled as it came! 



One two one two, and thru and thru the vorpal blade went snicker snak! 

He left it dead and with its head he went galumphing back. 

And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? 

Come to my arms! My beamish boy! 

Oh frabjous day! Cllooh, Calay! He chortled in his joy. 



Twas brillig and the slithy Toves 

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe, 

All mimsy were the borogoves 

And the momeraths outgrabe.
