COLD READING OF SCRIPT IN ‘CHARACTER’
PREPARE TO SING THE OPENING SONG FROM GILLIGAN’S ISLAND.
“THE BALLAD OF GILLIGAN’S ISLAND’
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…
All 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’s aground upon the shore of this
Deserted dessert isle
With Gilligan… the skipper too
The millionaire and his wife
The movie star, the professor, and Mary Ann
Here on Gilligan’s isle!
