The Ballad Of Gilligan's Island (remix)

The Ballad of Gilligan's Island (remix)

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,

A tale of a fateful trip

That started in Accra

in a pandemic.


The lockdown started closing in

Our travelers brave and sure

With passports, jumped on a plane that day

For a short holiday tour

A short holiday tour


The trip was the perfect getaway,

Our friends, they played it safe

But the numbers started getting high 

So they had to stay in place 

They had to stay in place


Seven travelers locked down in Accra for a while

With this man

and this one too 

A Millionaire and her Wife

The Americans (Ghanians, Nigerians)

And the rest are 

Here on Gilligan's Isle.



(Closing Credits)

Now, 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 quarantined traveling crew

Will do their very best

To make themselves comfortable

In their tropic African nest.


Spotty wifi, no flights home, not a single recipe,

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!
