The Ballad Of Gilliganīs Isle
(GWR 183) Staff
OPENER
Grand Square
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 3 hour tour
Allemande and Weave
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
FIGURE

CLOSER
Grand Square
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
Allemande and Weave
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'll sure to get a smile
From 7 stranded castaways Here on Gilligan's Isle!
