It was but a nightmare of the Jabberwock;
It was but a nightmare of the Jabberwock,
whatever the hell that is;
whatever the hell that is.
but of whatever that Jabberwock is
Hell! it was a nightmare!
Perhaps I'm a who who's mad, you know;
Perhaps I'm a who who's mad, you know,
who knows some devil Slithy;
who knows some devil Slithy,
some slithy devil perhaps who knows
I'm a mad Who's Who, you know.
In the nighttime I hear Brillig.
In the nighttime I hear Brillig
and Tove who carol with Lewis Carroll,
and Tove who carol with Lewis Carroll.
Here in the nighttime I carol with...Who?
Lewis Carroll, Brillig, and Tove.
Here in the nighttime, Brillig,
I'm mad with that nightmare the Jabberwock was
of a devil perhaps, Who knows?
but Lewis Carroll, (who's Carol?)
Slithy, Tove, and youhoo know
whatever the hell it is.
