| A1 | 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves |

| A4 | And the mome raths outgrabe. |
| B1 | "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! |
| B2 | The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! |
| B3 | Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun |
| B4 | The frumious Bandersnatch!" |
| Order | Verse |
|---|---|
| C1 | He took his vorpal sword in hand: |
| C2 | Long time the manxome foe he sought— |
| C3 | So rested he by the Tumtum tree, |
| C4 | And stood awhile in thought. |
| D1 | And as in uffish thought he stood, |
| D2 | The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, |
| D3 | Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, |
| D4 | And burbled as it came! |

|---|---|
| E1 | One, two! One, two! and through and through |
| E2 | The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! |
| E3 | He left it dead, and with its head |
| E4 | He went galumphing back. |
| F1 | "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? |
| F2 | Come to my arms, my beamish boy! |
| F3 | O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" |
| F4 | He chortled in his joy. |
| G1 | 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves |
| G2 | Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; |
| G3 | All mimsy were the borogoves, |
| G4 | And the mome raths outgrabe. |
