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
They'll have to make the best of things, it's an uphill climb; Circle Left
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 - Promenade
So join us here each week my friends, you'll sure to get a smile
From 7 stranded castaways, here on Gilligan's Isle!
