This is off the top of my head and probably contains lots of errors.
The closing ballad is particularly bad, and probably incomplete.  

Opening Ballad

Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Abord 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

(thunder)

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 ships aground on the shore of this
Uncharted desert isle
with Gilligan,
the skipper too,
the millionaire,
and his wife,
the movie star
(and the rest) | (the professor and Mary Anne) /* these lyrics changed  */
are here on Gilligans isle!

--------------------------------

Closing Ballad (beware of errors here)

This is the tale of our castaways
They here for a long long time
They'll have to make the best of things
Its an uphill climb

No boat, no light, no motorcar
Not a single luxury;
Like Robinson Crusoe
Its primitive as can be

The skipper and his first mate too
Will do their very best
To keep the others comgortable 
In their tropic island nest

So join us here each week my friend
You're sure to get a smile
With seven stranded castaways
Here on gilligan's isle!
