White sheets draped over chairs and couches
Shuttered windows on vacant summer houses
The kids back in school and the ferry line's gone
There's a quiet cool hint of autumn coming on
(Chorus)
It's after Labor Day, we've got our island back
That's when they go away, cut us a little slack
The carnival breaks down, there's no traffic jam
We're back to being a sleepy little town
Right after Labor Day
(Instrumental)
It's been a good season for everybody here
Made a lot of friends, see 'em all next year
I got a roll of bills, no worries for a while
Sittin' on the jetties, nobody for miles
(Chorus)
We've got our island back
That's when they go away
Cut us a little slack
The carnival breaks down, there's no traffic jams
We're back to being a sleepy little town
Right after Labor Day
Yeah after Labor Day
Right after Labor Day
