Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
the 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's aground on the shore of this
uncharted desert isle
with Gilligan
the Skipper too
The millionaire and his wife
the movie star
the 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
it's an uphill climb
The first mate and his Skipper too
will do their very best,
to make the others comfterble
in their tropic island nest
No phone, no lights, no motor car
not a single luxury
like Robinson Crusoe,
it' primitive as can be
