Gilligans Isle TV Theme

Song Lyrics & Words

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.

Alternative Lyrics & Words

After the show finishes there is another verse which goes like this...

So this is the tale of our castaways,
they're here for a long, long time,
they'll have to make the best if things,
It's an uphill climb

The first mate and the skipper too,
will do their very best,
to make the others comfortable,
in this tropic island nest

No boat, no light no motor car,
not a single luxury,
like Robinson Crusoe,
as 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 Gilligans Isle.
