Lyrics
"Gilligan":
INTO EVERY LIFE
THERE COMES A WELCOME LIGHT,
SHONE FROM A HEART THAT'S GOLDEN;
HE'S A SAILOR TRUE
IN HELPING ME AND YOU
TO KEEP AT BAY THE COLD.
FOR THOUGH TROUBLES RIDE US
CAPTAIN NEAL GUIDES US
ON OUR WAY.
SO GENTLY HE LEADS US,
MENTALLY FEEDS US,
DAY BY DAY!
HE GIVES EACH A LIFT,
IT'S JUST HIS SPECIAL GIFT,
HE KNOWS WHAT WE REQUIRE.
ALL HIS SAILING LORE
HIS POLITICS AND MORE,
THEY KEEP ALIGHT OUR FIRE!
FOR ALTHOUGH WE'RE NOT
CLEVER
CAPTAIN NEAL NEVER
SHOWS DISMAY.
AND HE ALWAYS IS TEACHING
TO US ALL REACHING
DAY BY DAY!
Chorus:
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
SURELY WE'RE NOT WORTHY?
WE DON'T DESERVE
HIS EFFORTS ON OUR PLATE!
FOR THOUGH TROUBLES RIDE US,
CAPTAIN NEAL GUIDES US
ON OUR WAY, OUR WAY. FROM THOSE TROUBLES HIDE US!
CAPTAIN NEAL RIDES US
EV'RY DAY, ALL DAY.
"Gilligan":
SO GENTLY HE LEADS US,
MENTALLY FEEDS US,
DAILY, YES DAILY, HE
HELPS US TO FREE
OUR MINDS FROM SLAVERY;
TEARS THE BLINKERS FROM US,
SO THAT WE CAN SEE.
Chorus:
FROM THOSE TROUBLES HIDE US!
CAPTAIN NEAL RIDES US
EV'RY DAY, ALL DAY.
AND HE ALWAYS IS PREACHING
WITH US ALL REACHING
ALWAYS!
"Gilligan":
INTO EVERY LIFE
THERE COMES A WELCOME LIGHT,
SHONE FROM A HEART THAT'S GOLDEN;
HE'S A SAILOR TRUE
IN HELPING ME AND YOU
TO KEEP AT BAY THE COLD.
