What are the lyrics to 'The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle' theme song from the TV series 'Gilligan's Island'?

Answer 1

("The Ballad of Gilligan's Island" by George Wyle and Sherwood Shwartz) - Gilligan's Island Lyrics

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,

The millionaire and his wife,

The movie star

The professor and Mary Ann,

Here on Gilligans Isle.

So this is the talel of the castways,

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,

As primative as can be.

So join us here each week my freinds,

You're sure to get a smile,

From seven stranded castways,

Here on "Gilligan's Isle."

(This is not the PILOT song, since it has the professor and Mary Ann added in. They were added in to the song in the second season.)
