The Ballad of "Gilligan's Isle" - TV Sounds Unlimited

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,

A millionaire and his wife,

A 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 the 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’re sure to get a smile,

From seven stranded castaways,

Here on Gilligan’s Isle.
