Full Lyrics

1. 'Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe: all mimsy were the borogoves,and the mome raths outgabe. 2. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird and shunthe frumious bandersnatch!" 3. He took his vorpal sword in hand; long time the manxsome foe he sought, so rested he by the Tumtum treeand stood a while in thought. 4. And, as in uffIsh thought he stood, the Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, came whiffling through the tulgey wood,and burbled as it came. 5. One, two! One, two! And through and through the vorpal blade went snickersnack! He left it dead, and with its headhe went galumphing back. 6. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!He chortled in his joy.
