Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 those racket boys can do [Verse 2] Now there's trouble busin' in from out of state And the D.A. can't get no relief Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade The gambling commission's hangin' on by the skin of its teeth [Chorus] 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 mе tonight in Atlantic City [Verse 3] I got a job and tried to put my money away But I got debts that no honеst man can pay Drew what I had from the Central Trust And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 Put on your stockings, baby, the night's gettin' cold Maybe everything dies, baby, that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back [Verse 4] 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 the losin' end So, last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him [Chorus] 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 Come on and meet me tonight in Atlantic City Come on and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
