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 them racket boys can do

Now there's trouble bussin' in from out of 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

[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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Now, baby, 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 going out where the sand's turnin' to gold

Now put on your stockings, baby, 'cause the night's gettin' cold

[Chorus]

And everything dies, baby, that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

[Verse 3]

Now I've 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 coming out on this losin' end

So, honey, last night, I met this guy, and I'm gonna do a little favor for him

[Chorus]

Well, I guess everything dies, baby, that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Put your hair up nice, set yourself up pretty

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

[Outro]

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
