lyrics

They blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
Blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're getting ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
There's trouble bussing in from out of state
And the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
The gambling commissioner's hanging
By the skin of his teeth

Everything dies baby that's a fact
And everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, your hair up pretty
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Well I got a job and put my money away
Got debts that no honest man can pay
So I took what I had from the central trust
Got us two tickets on that coast city bus

Everything dies baby that's a fact
And everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, your hair up pretty
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Luck may have died, love may be gone
With you forever I will stay
We're going where the sand's turning to gold
So put on your stockings baby
The night is getting cold
Your so beautiful
And I just feel old

Well I'm looking for a job
They're hard to find
Just winners and losers
Don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
Tired of coming out on a losing end
Last night I met a guy
And I'm gonna do a favour for him
A favour for him

Everything dies baby that's a fact
And everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, your hair up pretty
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
