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 fight,

 Gonna see what them racket boys can do

 Now there's trouble busin' 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 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

 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 bought us two tickets on that City Coast bus

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

 Now our luck may have died,

 and our love may be cold,

 but with you forever, I'll stay

 Now I been lookin' for a job,

 but it's hard to find

 Down here it's just winners and losers

Honey, last night,

I met this guy,

 and I'm gonna do a favor for him.

 I guess Everything dies, baby that's a fact,

 but maybe everything that dies

 someday, comes back

 Put your hair up nice and sit up pretty,

 and meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
