For those few who aren't aware of the castaways production of Hamlet, here are the lyrics.

Cast:
Hamlet-Gilligan
Claudius and Gertrude-Mr. and Mrs. Howell
Ophelia-Ginger
Polonius-The Skipper
Laertes-Mary Ann (doesn't sing)
Music Director-The Professor

Hamlet:
I ask to be or not to be
A rouge or peasant slave is what you see
A boy who loves his mother's knee
And so I ask to be or not to be
So here's my plea
I beg of thee
And say you see a little hope for me
To fight or flee
To fight or flee
I ask myself to be or not to be
Claudius and Gertrude:
He asks to be or not to be
A rouge and peasant slave is what you see
Gertrude:
A son who loves his mother's knee
Claudius and Gertrude:
And so he asks to be or not to be
So here's his plea
We beg of thee
And say we see a little hope for he
Hamlet:
To fight or flee
To fight or flee
I ask myself
Hamlet, Claudius and Gertrude:
To be or not to be

Ophelia:
Hamlet dear your problem is clear
Avenging thy father's death
You seek to harm your uncle and mom
But you're scaring me to death
While I die and sigh and cry
That love is everything
You're content to try to catch
The conscience of the king
Since the date
When your dad met his fate
You just brood
And you don't touch your food
You hate your mom
Mad at my pop
You'll kill the king
Or some silly thing
So Hamlet Hamlet do be a lamb
Let rotten enough alone
From Ophelia no one can steal ya
You'll always be my own
Leave the gravedigger's scene
If you know what I mean
Danish pastry for two
For me
For you

Polonius:
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
Do not forget
Stay out of debt
Think twice and take this good advice from me
Guard that old solvency
There's just one other thing
You ought to do
To thine own self be true
All:
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
Do not forget
Stay out of debt
Think twice and take this good advice from me
Guard that old solvency
There's just one other thing
You ought to do
To thine own self be true

These have to be some of the best made for an episode of a series lyrics

I agree. Some very clever writing there. And the music suits it so well. Can't wait for the DVD clarity of picture and sound.
