The Ballad of Gilligan’s Island
The Wellingtons
OPENING
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 3 hour tour, a 3 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 Gilligaaan
The Skipper too
A millionaire, and his wife
A movie star
The Proffessor and Mary Ann
Here on Gilligan's Isle
END THEME
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 phone, 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 friends
You'll sure to get a smile
From 7 stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle!
