Jabberwocky
A monster quest turns nonsense language into a coming-of-age victory over fear itself.

Lyrics
Beware the Jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch
Beware the Jubjub, shun the bird
And run like hell from the Bandersnatch
'Twas brillig in the twilight air
The slithy toves all gyre and spin
All mimsy were the borogoves
The mome raths whisper, closing in
Beware
Beware
Beware the Jabberwock
He took his sword in trembling hand
A long time sought the foe he feared
Through tulgey wood he stood and thought
The darkness listening, leaned in near
Beware
Beware
Beware the Jabberwock
Snicker-snack, the blade comes back
Beware
Beware
Beware the Jabberwock
One two
One two
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack
He left it dead
Its head in hand
And ran back home the long way back
Beware
Beware
Beware the Jabberwock
Snicker-snack, the blade comes back
Beware
Beware
Beware the Jabberwock
And has thou slain the Jabberwock
Come to my arms, my beamish boy
O frabjous day, callooh, callay
He laughs it out, he laughs for joy
'Twas brillig once again tonight
The slithy toves still gyre and spin
The monsters fade, the words remain
You beat the thing that lived within
Beware
Beware
Beware the Jabberwock
Snicker-snack, the blade comes back
Beware
Beware
Beware the Jabberwock
