♫ 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 two hour tour, a two hour tour. ♫
"The Encore project carries substantial risk as well. Traffic, already at crisis levels, will only get worse. With the Northeast currently home to a number of casinos, with more on the way, the market could quickly hit a saturation point, the businesses will suffer, and the promised tax revenue will come up short, and inevitably there will be a pernicious downside: In an industry where the odds are stacked in the house’s favor, some gamblers will lose far more than they can afford....."
♫ 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 set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan
The Skipper too,
A millionaire and her wife,
A music star
The Professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Bo$ton Globe's Isle. ♫
♫ So this is the tale of our castaways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.
The first mate and his Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In their tropic island nest.
No phone, no lights, no motor bikes,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
It's primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friend,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castaways,
Here on "Bo$ton Globe's Isle."♫
