Lyrics
- Alice once fell asleep and she was dreaming
When she awoke she started screaming, filled with fright
“Alice, your dreams of Wonderland unfold them”
“‘Twas like a blunderland,” she told them, late that night
Just picture
Chorus:
Down in funny Jabberwocky town
Down where everything is upside-down
Everybody there, has no sense nor do they care
Not a jail or a cop, oh pop
Imagine down in funny Jabberwocky town
Down where black is white and green is brown
Each costume is like a crazy patch
Each house a booby hatch
Everybody is a clown
In funny Jabberwocky town
- Alice saw many sights that were amusing
But they were awfully confusing, so she said
Alice could not make out if she’d be landing
Upon her feet or soon be standing on her head
Just picture
Chorus:
Down in funny Jabberwocky town
Down where everything is upside-down
Everybody there, has no sense nor do they care
Not a jail or a cop, oh pop
Imagine down in funny Jabberwocky town
Down where black is white and green is brown
Each costume is like a crazy patch
Each house a booby hatch
Everybody is a clown
In funny Jabberwocky
See them walky, hear them talky
Jabberwocky town
