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.
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. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gilligans_island/gilligans_island_theme_song.html ]
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 Gilligan's Isle.
(Ending verse)
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 comf'terble
In their tropic island nest.
No phone, no lights, no motor car,
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friends,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle!
Yeah, like that film "on the beach" only without the impending cloud of deadly radiation, or the impending singing of "waltzing matilda" but with many studly, shirtless deck-hands!

It meant mental escape for millions of americans in the early years following the cuban missile crisis when no one thought there'd be a future, let alone an idyllic one; namely, on an unmapped, self-sufficient tropical island with good friends and a sense of hope. Too bad there were no studly, shirtless deck-hands in the cast...

It means you can survive a storm on a boat with some luck. Then, you can survive on an island for some period of years.

I think that this song is being interpreted by seven swans. That have to grow up and encourage each other through hard times in life. Because swan moms leave when that baby swan is at a very young age. Just like some people who get put in foster care. That's what this song means.
