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 hell of a fight
Gonna see what those racket boys can do
[Verse 2]
Now there's trouble bustin' 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 his teeth
[Verse 3]
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 tonight in Atlantic City
[Verse 4]
Well, I got a job and I tried to put my money away
But I had debts that no honest man could pay
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought me and my baby two tickets on that Coast City bus
[Verse 5]
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 tonight in Atlantic City
[Verse 6]
Well, now, luck may have died and love may be cold
But with you forever I'll stay
I'm going out where the sand's turnin' to gold
Put on your stockin's, baby, the night's gettin' cold
[Verse 7]
And baby, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies, someday comes back
[Verse 8]
One, two, three
[Verse 9]
I've been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
'Cause down here there'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
[Verse 10]
So, honey, last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him
[Verse 11]
Because 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 tonight in Atlantic City
[Verse 12]
Yeah, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now, wanna meet me tonight in Atlantic City
You can meet me tonight in Atlantic City
