Beware the Jabberwock! Lyrics

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

All mimsy were the borogoves

And the mome raths outgrabe

Beware

Beware the Jabberwock

The jaws that bite the claws that catch

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch

He took his vorpal sword in hand

Long time the manxome foe he sought

So rested he by the Tumtum tree

And stood awhile in thought

And, as in uffish thought he stood

The Jabberwock with eyes of flame

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood

And burbled as it came

One two

One two

And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker snack

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

O frabjous day

Callooh Callay

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 mome raths outgrabe
