Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful ship
That started from this tropic shore
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
A millionaire and his wife
A movie star
The professor and Mary Ann
Here on Gilligan's Isle

So this is the tale of the 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 Skipper too
Will do their very best
To make the others comfortable
In this 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 freinds
You're sure to get a smile
From seven stranded castways
Here on Gilligan's Isle
