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
