“Jabberwockey” is found on Donovan’s second album of children’s songs – HMS – a record released only in the UK.
The lyrics are from a Lewis Carroll poem found in his 1871 sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There.
In case you were wondering w...
[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
