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, on 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
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, and 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 it's Gilligan, the Skipper too
The millionaire and his wife
The movie star, professor and Mary Ann
Here on Gilligan's Isle
