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
