Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, 

A tale of a sailing trip 

That started from this nearby port 
(http://www.cantinamarina.com/cantina/info/?subsub=23)


Aboard this 65-foot ship 
(http://www.nmhf.org/images/mv/AS-and-Mc-Nair-2.jpg). 

  

The mate was a mighty sailing man, 

The skipper brave and sure
(http://www.nmhf.org/images/mv/Nicole.jpg).
 
Twenty passengers set sail that day 

For a two hour tour, a two hour tour. 

  

The weather, it was  very nice
(http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/wxdetail/USDC0001?dayNum=2&&from=weekend)

The passengers were sauced, 

If not for the navigational competence of the crew 

The schooner would get lost, the schooner would get lost.

There's room for one more passenger aboard this sailing ship,
We've Gilligan,
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star,
The professor and Mary Ann,
but we're missing the final castaway, and that's where you come in.
