Jabberwock Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Blues Traveler

Poet: lewis carroll 

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves 

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe 

All mimsy were the borogoves 

And the mome raths outgrabe 

"beware the jabberwock, my son 

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch 

Beware the jubjub bird and shun 

The frumious bandersnatch" 

He took his vorpal blade 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 it's 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.
