Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night; now they blew up his house
too
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight, gonna see what them racket
boys can do
Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state and the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and the gamblin' commission's hangin' on by
the skin of its teeth
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact,
but maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty,
and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away,
but I got debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust,
and I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact,
but maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty,
and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold so put on your stockin's baby
'cause the night's getting cold
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact,
but maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of
that line
Well I'm tired of comin' out on this losin' end;
so honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact,
but maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your hair up nice fix your hair up pretty,
and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
