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
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 set 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
So this is the tale of the 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 the Skipper too
Will do their very best
To make the others comfortable
In the tropic island nest
No phone, no lights no motor cars
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
As primative as can be
So join us here each week my friends
You're sure to get a smile
From seven stranded castaways
Here on "Gilligan's Isle"
