Answer 1

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."

Answer 2

The first year of the series the lyrics were different:

Note: words and letters in paranthesis "( )" denote differences in the first year of the series
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 sailin' man,
The Skipper brave and sure,
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour.

A three hour tour. [ sound of thunder: crack! ]

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's aground on the shore of this
Uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan, the Skipper too,
The Millionaire and his wife,
A movie star, ( and the rest ) the Professor and Mary Ann,
( All ) Here on Gilligan's Isle!

So this is the tale of our 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 ( his ) the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In their tropic island nest.

No phone(s)! No light(s)! No motor car(s)!
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson C-ru-soe, it's primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my freinds,
You're sure to get a smile,
From ( For ) seven stranded castways,
Here on "Gilligan's Isle."

Answer 3

When the series first started, the words near the end were 'and the rest'. Then, after a while, the words changed to 'the professor and Mary-Anne'.
So you are both right.
.

Answer 4

. A movie star, the professor and Mary Ann are here on Gilligan's isle.......

Answer 5

the professor and Maryanne, here on Gilligan's Isle

Answer 6

Clifford is the only one who is right. They changed the song to the professor and Mary Ann when the show went from black and white to color.

Answer 7

You are actually both correct! In the early seasons it was "And the rest.." later they changed it to " The Professor and Maryann.." So, argue no further, you are BOTH right! How often does that happen in a marriage?

Answer 8

Oh man, this takes me back to the 70's.
Good question I starred it.
If I get to vote its the answer with all the lyrics.

Answer 9

It was originally "and the rest". That was later changed to acknowledge the other two characters.

Answer 10

You're correct.

Sorry hubby!
