Perdón, yo no habla Español.

Last night I dreamt of the Minnow
Five passengers who sailed that day
From a tropic bay

The weather started getting rough
So they had to stay awhile
On that desert isle

Living in those bamboo huts
The first mate was such a klutz
Mary Ann had great coconuts
La Isla Gilligan

And when the theme song plays
I think of those castaways
Who wore the same clothes every day
On that uncharted desert isle

“Gilligan! Gilligan! Gilligan! Gilligan! Gilligan!
Gilligan! Gilligan! Gilligan! Gilligan! Gilligan!
Oh, my buddy!”

Gilligan fell out of his hammock (“Ooop!”)
He landed on the Skipper’s lap
Woke him from his nap

Los Howells tienen mucho dinero
(“I know the universal language — money!”)
No phones, no lights, no motorcars
Just dumb guests stars

Tropical the island nest
Sending out an S.O.S.
All the guys loved Ginger’s hair
La Isla Gilligan

‘Cause when the theme song plays
I think of those castaways
Who wore the same clothes every day
On that uncharted desert isle

“Oop!” “Oop!” “Oop!” “Oop!”

I want to watch the reruns til I die
When it’s time for the credits their faces go by
Gilligan, Skipper, the millionaire, and his wife
The movie star, the professor
and
Mary Ann

“What happened?”
“Well, it’s those radioactive vegetables, Mary Ann!”

So join us here each week my friend
The best half hour you’ll ever spend
‘Cause you know they won’t get rescued again
From La Isla Gilligan

And when the theme song plays
I think of those castaways
Who wore the same clothes every day
On that uncharted desert isle

The radio warned them of typhoons
Stuff washed up in the lagoon
The reruns are on every afternoon
La Isla Gilligan

And when the theme song plays
I think of those castaways
Who wore the same clothes every day
On that uncharted desert isle

“Don’t worry, Skipper, I know exactly where we are.”
“You do?? Where are we?”
“We’re lost.”
“Oh, Gilligan!”
