Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
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

They're bussing in trouble from outta state
cnd the D.c. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble on that promenade
cnd the gambling commission's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth

Everything dies, baby, that's a fact maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty cnd meet me tonight in ctlantic City

Well, I had me a job tried to put some money away
But I got the type of debt that no honest man can pay
So I drew what I had from that Central Trust
cnd I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

Everything dies, baby, that's a fact maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty cnd meet me tonight in ctlantic City

Now our luck may have died and our hearts may have grown cold
But with you forever I'll stay
We're goin' out where the sand turns to gold
Put your stockings on baby, `cause it might get cold

Everything dies, baby, that's a fact maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty cnd meet me tonight in ctlantic City

I been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
Down here there's winners and there's losers
Don't get caught on the wrong side
I'm just tired of coming out on that losing end
I met a man last night honey gonna do a favor for him

Everything dies, baby, that's a fact maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty cnd meet me tonight in ctlantic City
