Lyrics:
Well, they blew up the Chicken Man in Philly last night
And they blew up his house, too
Down on the boardwalk they're 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 on the promenade
And the gamblin' commissioner's hangin' on by the skin of his teeth
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well, I got a job and I put my money away
But I got the kind of debts that no honest man can pay
So I drew out what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus
Everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day 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
We'll be goin' out where the sand turns to gold
But put your stockings on, 'cause it might get cold
Oh, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Now I've been a-lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find
There's winners and there's losers and I'm south of the line
Well, I'm tired of gettin' caught out on the losin' end
But I talked to a man last night, gonna do a little favor for him
Well, everything dies, baby, that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Oh, meet me tonight in Atlantic City
I've needed a better quality version on youtube desperately for almost 2 years, thank you so much!
You're welcome
What are the odds that you are the only comment on this video (not including the uploader's reply), talking about the same thing I've experienced... and your name is also Jude like me! Hahaha
Me too, brother/sister.
Its a shame this version is not on spotify
This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it I love it never been a huge fan of the band but this song is so deep and different
That's because it's a Springsteen song
Another great one to listen to with Dawn. She always has her hair looking pretty. But she meets me in Ocean City.
Fantastic 🙏👍
Is this song bout Jimmy Hoffa
the chicken man is in reference to Phil testa, aka : the chicken man, he was a mobster from philly.
It was a power struggle within the Philly Mob after Angelo Bruno was assassinated.
