Theme Song

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 sailor man, the skipper brave and sure,

Five passengers set sail that day on a three hour tour--a three hour tour.

The weather started to get 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.

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.

Now this is the tale of our castaways, they're here for a long, long time.

They have to make the best of things; it's an uphill climb.

The first mate and the skipper too will do their very best,

To make the others comfortable in their tropic island nest.

No boat, no light, no motor car; not a single luxury.

Like Robinson Crusoe, it's primitive as can be.

So join us here each week my friend, you're sure to get a smile,

From seven stranded castaways, here on GilliGan's Isle.

The Honeybees' Song

All three: You need us, you need us. Like a clam needs a shell, like a prisoner needs a cell,

like a dingdong needs a bell, you need us.

Ginger: You need me, you need me. Like a picture needs a star, like a golfer needs a par,

like a teenager needs a car, you need me.

Maryann: You need me, you need me. Like a baby needs a toy, like a wire needs a buoy,

like a girl needs a boy, you need me.

Mrs. Howell: You need me, you need me. Like a diamond needs a ring,

like a harp needs a string, like a queen needs a king, you need me.

All three: You need us, you need us. Like a bee needs a buzz,

like a peach needs its fuzz. So that's why you need us,

You need us! Buzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hamlet: A Musical

The play is the thing, and with a roll of the drum and a blare of the trumpet, we present--Hamlet

Hamlet: I ask to be, or not to be, a rouge or peasant slave is what you see;

A boy who loved his mother's knee, and so I ask to be or not to be.

So here's my plea, I beg of you. and say you see a little hope for me.

To fight or flee, to fight to flee, I ask myself to be or not to be.

Claudius and Gertrude: He asks to be or not to be, a rouge or peasant slave is what you see;

Gertrude: My son who loved his mother's knee,

Claudius and Gertrude: And so he asks to be or not to be.

So here's his plea, we beg of thee, and say we see a little hope for he.

Hamlet: To fight or flee, to fight to flee, I ask myself to be or not to be.

Dialogue Between Hamelet and Ophelia

Hamlet: Hark, I do believe I hear the fair Ophelia.

[Enter Ophelia]

Ophelia: My Lord Hamelet is Troubled.

Hamlet: Yea, verily, my heart is heavy. I cannot marry thee, Ophelia. There is nothing left for you but to get thee to a notary.

Ophelia: Ah, my poor Hamlet. Ah, my poor Hamlet.

Ophelia: Hamlet, dear, your problem is clear, avenging thy father's death;

You seek to harm your uncle and mom, but you're scaring me to death.

While I die and sigh and cry, that love is everything;

You're content to try to catch the conscience of the king.

Since that day when your dad met his fate,

You just brood and you don't touch your food;

You hate your mom, mad at my pa,

You'll kill the king or some silly thing.

So Hamlet, Hamlet, do be a man, let rotten enough alone.

From Ophelia no one can steal ya, you'll always be my own,

Leave the gravedigger's scene, if you know what I mean.

Danish pastry for two, for me, for you.

Hamlet: In truth Ophelia, you have said a mouthful.

Ophelia: Hamlet, I have so much more to offer. But Hark! Me thinks me hear the heavy footsteps of my father, Polonius.

Hamlet: And the laughter of your brother and my friend, Laertes.

Ophelia: Oh, they must not find us here. But where to hide?

Hamlet: Hide anyplace. But don't go near the water.

[Exit Hamlet and Ophelia]

Laertes: Father, my ship sails with the tide.

Polonius: A moment, my son, for I have something to tell you.

Laertes: But I ask only for my allowance.

Polonius: Ah, but I shall give you something more available: advice.

Laertes: Do you know how much wine you can buy in Paris with advice?

Polonius: Paris is a wild and wicked town, and you are but a young and innocent boy.

Laertes: (aside) Oh, could I tell him a few stories.

Polonius: Heed my words, Laertes, and you'll be safe.

Laertes: (aside) Unless I listen, I won't get my spending money. So I'll listen, I'll listen.

Think twice, and take this good advice from me, guard that old solvency.

There's just one more thing you ought to do, to thine own self be true.

All: Neither a borrower or a lender be, Do not forget, stay out of debt;

Think twice, and take this good advice from me, guard that old solvency.

There's just one more thing you ought to do, to thine own self be true.

[END]
