Vincent’s Isle

The first message I received when I subscribed to BBTV, welcomed me to Vincent’s Isle. Instantly like the smartass I am, I had to set a filk to the theme of Gilligan’s Island.

Song: Vincent’s Isle
Performed by: Ginger
Filked? Yes.
Original Song: Gilligan’s Island theme

Original Lyrics: Filked Lyrics:
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 sailing 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.

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 Gilligans Isle.

So this is the talel of the castways,
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 the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the tropic island nest.

No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primative as can be.

So join us here each week my freinds,
You’re sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castways,
Here on “Gilligan’s Isle.”

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
a tale of a fateful trip
that started out in Central Park
where tunnels bend and dip

Catherine had been left for dead
her life slipping away
a mysterious man named Vincent came
and he saved the day
and he saved the day

The plot, it started getting thick
and Catherine, she got well
the two of them got really close
and everything was swell

Apparently the writers felt that
Catherine had to go
they asked a man named Gabriel you know who
to get her off the show
get her off the show

So she was tossed but all her fans
were loathe to see her leave

so everyone, don’t write her off
she’s still out there somewhere
perhaps someday, she’ll come back and show them that
she belongs on Vincent’s Isle!
