Jabberwocky Rehearsal MP3 2012-4-24Lyrics and Actions
*Shhhhh
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths out *choo grabe.
| *RH 1 finger to lips, slowly lower hand
*head bob like sneezing |
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that *bite, the claws that *catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
*(whistle)
|
*hand clap like aligator jaws
*look left to right over 3 beats then whip head back to left
|
He took his *vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So *rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
|
*ladies pull sword w/ right hand
*sword hand melts to relaxed position w/ right hand under chin & left hand under right elbow
Freeze
|
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came *whiffling through the **tulgey wood,
And *burbled **as it *came!
|
*Stomp Left **Stomp Right
*Stomp Left **Stomp Right |
*One, **two! *One, *+two!
And *through and **through
The *vorpal **blade went ***snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and *with its head
He went galumphing back.
*(7 beats)
|
*RH hold out first finger, **RH two fingers, +shake head (loose lips)
*left sword jab, **right sword jab
***straight twisting sword jab
*pick up head with disgusted face
*turn in circle counterclockwise |
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my *arms, my beamish boy!
O *frabjous day! **Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
|
*whip arms open
*Hands clasped to Right of head, **Hands clasped to Left of head
Big Cheesy Grin |
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths out *choo grabe.
|
*head bob like sneezing |
