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 sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure,
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour…a three hour tour. (kacrrrr…kacrrr…lightning sounds I can’t spell them…)

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’s aground on the shore of this
Uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan, the Skipper too,
The Millionaire and his wife,
A movie star, and… the Professor and Mary Ann,
(Here on Gilligan’s Isle!

So this is the tale of our castways,
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 ) the 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 as primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friends,
You’re sure to get a smile,
For seven stranded castaways,
here… on “Gilligan’s Isle.”
