"Beware the Jabberwock" is a deleted song from Disney's 1951 animated film Alice in Wonderland. The song was supposed to be a warning about the titular Jabberwock, a character from the book Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll that was supposed to appear in the movie but was scrapped from the final product.
The song is supposed to be performed by the late Stan Freberg with The Rhythmaires and the late Daws Butler.
Lyrics
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Gyre and gimble in the wabe
And mimsy are the borogoves
And the Mome Raths outgrabe...
Beware the Jab-Jab-Jabberwock.
The Jubjub and the Bandersnatch
Oh manxome and so frumious
With the big claws that catch
Beware the Jab-Jab-Jabberwock
That burbles in the Tulgey Wood
With eyes of flame he whiffles up
Little girls who won't be good
He's here, he's there, he's everywhere
So don't go out so uffishly
Look out! He may be hiding there
Behind the Tumtum tree
He's in, he's out, he's all about
He'll get you if you don't look out
That whiffling, burbling Jabberwock
Beware the Jabberwock!
He's here, he's there, he's everywhere
So don't go out so uffishly
Look out! He may be hiding there
Behind the Tumtum tree
He's in, he's out, he's all about
He'll get you if you don't look out
That whiffling, burbling Jabberwock
Beware the Jabberwock!
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves,
Gyre and gimble in the wabe
And mimsy are the borogoves
And the Mome Raths outgrabe!
