Lyrics

(During opening credits:)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

a tale of a fateful trip.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

That started from this tropic port,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

aboard this tiny ship.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The mate was a mighty sailin' man,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

the skipper brave and sure.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Five passengers set sail that day,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

for a three hour tour, a three hour tour???

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The weather started getting rough,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

the tiny ship was tossed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

If not for the courage of the fearless crew,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

the Minnow would be lost; the Minnow would be lost.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The ship took ground on the shore of this

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

uncharted desert isle,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

with Gilligan, the Skipper too,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

the Millionaire, and his Wife,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

the Movie Star, the Professor and Mary Ann,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

here on Gilligan's Isle.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

(During closing credits:)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

So this is the tale of our castaways,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

they're here for a long, long time.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

They'll have to make the best of things,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

it's an uphill climb.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The first mate and his skipper too,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

will do their very best,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

to make the others comfortable,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

in their tropic island nest.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

No phones, no lights, no motor cars,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

not a single luxury.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Like Robinson Crusoe,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

it's primitive as can be.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

So join us here each week my friend,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

you're sure to get a smile.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

From seven stranded Castaways,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Here on Gilligan's Isle.
