Atlantic City

[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 busing in from out of state

And the D.A. can't get no relief

Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade

And the gambling commission's hanging on by the skin of its teeth

[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

[Verse 2]

Well, I got a job and I put my monеy away

But I got the kinda debts that no honest man can pay

So I drеw what I could from the Central Trust

Got 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 our love may be cold

But with you, forever, I'll stay

We're going out where the sand's turning to gold

So put on your stockings on 'cause it might get cold

[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 3]

I been looking for a job, but they’re hard to find

There’s winners and there’s losers on each side of the line

And I'm tired of getting caught on the losing end

But I talked to a man last night, 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

[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

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
