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
