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 bustin' 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 his teeth  
  
(chorus)  
Well now, ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact  
But maybe ev'rything 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 I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus  
  
(chorus)  
  
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold  
But with you forever I'll stay  
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold  
Put on your stockin's baby, `cause the night's getting cold  
And maybe ev'rything dies, baby, that's a fact  
But maybe ev'rything that dies someday comes back  
  
Now, I 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 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)
