Gilligan's Island
The Ballad Of Gilligan's Island
G. Wyle / S. Schwartz (1964)

Dm  C  x 2  w/ mélodie

     Dm                        C
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
  Dm                C
A tale of a fateful trip
     Dm                C
That started from this tropic port
 B♭         C    Dm
Aboard this tiny ship

The mate was a mighty sailing man                (en D♯m)
The skipper brave and sure
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three-hour tour (bis)

(éclairs)

The weather started getting rough                (en Em)
The tiny ship was tossed
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost (bis)

The ship set ground on the shore of this         (en Fm)
Uncharted desert isle
     Fm            E♭
With Gilligan, the skipper too
    Fm                  E♭
The millionaire and his wife
    Fm    E♭
The movie star
    Fm            E♭
The professor and Mary Ann               (ou: And the rest)

Fm      E♭         Fm
Here on Gilligan's Isle


Fin:                                     Français:

So this is the tale of the castaways     C'était un tout petit bateau
They're here for a long, long time       Sur l'eau du Pacifique
They'll have to make the best of things  Dans un pays où il fait chaud
It's an uphill climb                     Sous le ciel des Tropiques

The first mate and the skipper too       À bord y'avait le matelot
Will do their very best                  Et le vieux capitaine
To make the others comfortable           Cinq passagers partis sur l'eau
In the tropic island nest                Pour trois heures à peine (bis)

No phone, no lights, no motor cars       Soudain le vent se lève au large
Not a single luxury                      Un orage imprévu
Like Robinson Crusoe                     Sans le secours de l'équipage
It's primitive as can be                 Ils étaient perdus (bis)

So join us here each week my friends     Sur les bords d'une île inconnue
You're sure to get a smile               Ils se sont retrouvés
From seven stranded castaways            Y'a Gilligan, le capitaine
                                         Le millionaire, son épouse
Here on Gilligan's Isle                  La jolie star et leurs amis

                                         Sur l'île de Gilligan
