The Bellman looked uffish and wrinkled his brow	A
If only you'd spoken before	B
It's excessively awkward to mention it now	A
With the Snark so to speak at the door	B
We should all of us grieve as you well may believe	C
If you never were met with again	D
But surely my man when the voyage began	E
You might have suggested it then	D
	-
It's excessively awkward to mention it now	A
As I think I've already remarked	F
And the man they called Hi replied with a sigh	G
I informed you the day we embarked	F
	-
You may charge me with murder or want of sense	H
We are all of us weak at times	I
But the slightest approach to a false pretence	I
Was never among my crimes	I
	-
I said it in Hebrew I said it in Dutch	J
I said it in German and Greek	K
But I wholly forgot and it vexes me much	J
That English is what you speak	K
	-
'Tis a pitiful tale said the Bellman whose face	I
Had grown longer at every word	L
But now that you've stated the whole of your case	I
More debate would be simply absurd	L
	-
The rest of my speech he exclaimed to his men	D
You shall hear when I've leisure to speak it	M
But the Snark is at hand let me tell you again	D
'Tis your glorious duty to seek it	M
	-
To seek it with thimbles to seek it with care	N
To pursue it with forks and hope	O
To threaten its life with a railway share	N
To charm it with smiles and soap	O
	-
For the Snark's a peculiar creature that wo'n't	P
Be caught in a commonplace way	Q
Do all that you know and try all that you don't	R
Not a chance must be wasted to day	Q
	-
For England expects I forbear to proceed	S
'Tis a maxim tremendous but trite	T
And you'd best be unpacking the things that you need	S
To rig yourselves out for the fight	T
	-
Then the Banker endorsed a blank cheque which he crossed	U
And changed his loose silver for notes	I
The Baker with care combed his whiskers and hair	N
And shook the dust out of his coats	I
	-
The Boots and the Broker were sharpening a spade	V
Each working the grindstone in turn	W
But the Beaver went on making lace and displayed	V
No interest in the concern	W
	-
Though the Barrister tried to appeal to its pride	X
And vainly proceeded to cite	T
A number of cases in which making laces	I
Had proved an infringement of right	T
	-
The maker of Bonnets ferociously planned	Y
A novel arrangement of bows	I
While the Billiard marker with quivering hand	Y
Was chalking the tip of his nose	I
	-
But the Butcher turned nervous and dressed himself fine	Z
With yellow kid gloves and a ruff	A2
Said he felt it exactly like going to dine	Z
Which the Bellman declared was all stuff	A2
	-
Introduce me now there's a good fellow he said	B2
If we happen to meet it together	C2
And the Bellman sagaciously nodding his head	B2
Said That must depend on the weather	C2
	-
The Beaver went simply galumphing about	D2
At seeing the Butcher so shy	G
And even the Baker though stupid and stout	D2
Made an effort to wink with one eye	G
	-
Be a man said the Bellman in wrath as he heard	L
The Butcher beginning to sob	E2
Should we meet with a Jubjub that desperate bird	L
We shall need all our strength for the job	E2
