[Verse 1]
Well they blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night
And they blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're getting ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
Now there's trouble bussing in from out of state
And the DA can't get no relief
Gonna rumble down on the promenade
And the gambling commissioner's hanging on by the skin of his teeth
[Chorus]
Everything dies baby that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
[Verse 2]
Now 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
[Chorus]
Everything dies baby that's a fact
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 love may be cold
But with you forever I'll stay
Now we're going to where the sand's turning to gold
So put on your stockings baby, because the night's getting cold
Everything dies, baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
[Verse 3]
Now I've been looking 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
I'm tired of coming out on that losing end
So honey last night I met this guy I'm gonna do a little favor for him
[Chorus]
Everything dies baby that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, 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
