Tulgey Wood Lyrics


Down the rabbit hole she fell

Her body shrinks, her body swells.

“It might be, if it were so

For we are all mad here you know.”

“Mary Ann,” White Rabbit calls.

The oysters dead – they killed them all.

Tweedledum is logic’s law

Oh Red King do not hold your snore.

The child is lost in Wonderland

Alice does not understand.

Flamingoes are lords of croquet

And never will come jam today.

‘Drink Me’, ‘Eat me’, ‘Who am I?’

Like a teatray in the sky.

Heed advice from Cheshire Cat

But do not paint the roses black.

Twas brillig and the slithey toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

All mimsy were the borogoves

And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the jabberwocky my son,

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch.

Beware the jub jub bird and shun,

The frumious bandersnatch.”

The pudding cuts a slice of you

A pig snout on the baby grew.

Ravens fill the writing desk

The serpent child is grotesque.

“Take less tea,” the Hatter said

Whilst Red Queen calls, “Off with his head.”

“I’m late, I’m late,” he murdered time.

Your punishment precedes your crime.

Twas brillig and the slithey toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

All mimsy were the borogoves

And the mome raths outgrabe.

“And hast thou slain the jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day, calooh calay!”

He chortled in his joy.
