lyrics

Gilligans Wake Everybody wore black
Except for Yoko she wore a white sack
And oh oh yeah she parked ‘round the back
At Gilligans Wake

We had a thirst that we could not slake
So we drank some ales for Gilligan’s sake
And Spaceman Lee he cut the cake
At Gilligans Wake

And Mickey Martell was goin' to hell
At Gilligans Wake

Gilligans Wake took the A train
Brought some droogs from Michael Caine
Way downtown caught a Dubland cab
To the discotheque to see Gilligan’s slab
And Joan Blondell she picked a scab
At Gilligans Wake

And Marty Howe said Holy Cow
At Gilligans Wake
Break – Come on!

Gilligans Wake we rocked the place
Cuz the guest of honor was a boy of taste
He had two eyes but he had no face
He was on a date with Princess Grace

Let’s rock
Let’s rock
Let’s rock
Let’s rock

Gilligans Wake Everybody looked gray
When Bobby Orr called for Export A
Gilligan’s dead but I came to get laid
So we drank to the death til the end of the day
At Gilligans Wake

And Bobby Hull and Martin Mull
They were outta their skull
Singing Jethro Tull
And Rejean Houle
Looked like a ghoul
At Gilligans Wake
And Mom and dad looked mighty sad
At Gilligans Wake
