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

Professor and Mary Ann's

Here on Gilligan's isle

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 the 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

Yeah with Gilligan the skipper too

The millionaire and his wife

The movie star

Professor and Mary Ann's

Here on Gilligan's isle
