Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
  Dm                C
A tale of a fateful trip
     Dm                C            Bm         C    Dm
That started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship
    Dm                C                Dm                C
The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure,
     Dm             C                   Bb    C    Dm
Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour,

The tiny ship was tossed

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 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.
