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 set ground of the shore of this Uncharted desert isle With Gilligan The Skipper too A millionaire And his wife A movie star The professor and Mary Ann Here on Gilligan`s Isle So this is the tale of our cast-away`s They`re here for a long long time They`ll have to make the best of things It`s an up-hill climb The first mate and the skipper too Will do their very best To make the others comfortable In a tropic island nest No phone no lights no motor car 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 cast-aways Here on Gilligan`s Isle
