Donovan — Jabberwocky

[Verse 1] 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe [Verse 2] "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 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! [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] "And has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy [Verse 7] 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe
