Friends, oh my friends we're doing time
And our teacher should've taught us better
Golden reflections in my mind
And I'm leaving my old fur forever
It's been a long, September

Days that I long for on the walk
And I'm speaking softer than I've ever
Old money leaning on the law
And the news mans lying on the weather
It's been a long, September
It's been a long, September

And we go dancing in our stripes
But don't be sad about it baby
And we all say we're doing fine
But honey have you seen us lately
Tigersharks don't change their minds
And tonight, I think I'm going crazy
Tonight

Porch swings and the sparklers on the lawn
And the old folks rest their weary feathers
Golden days fading with the sun
But the old road takes us there forever
It's been a long, September
It's been a long, September

And we go dancing in our stripes
But don't be sad about it baby
And we all say we're doing fine
But honey have you seen us lately
Spinning round' in twirling lights
It's how I want you always baby
Oh Tigersharks don't change their minds
And tonight, I think we're going crazy

Yeah tonight, I think we're going crazy
Yeah tonight, I think we're going crazy
