[Verse]
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 them racket boys can do
[Verse]
Now, there's trouble bustin' 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 his 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]
Well, I got a job and I tried to put my money away
But I had debts that no honest man can 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
[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
[Bridge]
Well now, luck may have died and our love may be cold
But with you forever, I'll stay
I'm goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold
Put on your stockings, baby, the night's getting cold
Maybe everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
[Verse]
Now, I been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
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
So, honey, last night I met this guy
And I'm gonna do a little favor for him
[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
[Outro]
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
You can meet me tonight in Atlantic City
You can meet me tonight in Atlantic City
