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 its teeth

                                                                
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

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

                                                                 
Now baby, everything dies baby that's a fact   But maybe everything that dies 
                                                    
someday comes back   Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
                                     2x:

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
                                                                         
So put on your stockin's baby `cause the night's getting cold And everything dies
                                                             
baby that's a fact  But maybe everything 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 this losin' end
                                                                    
So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favour for him

                                                                     
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact    But maybe everything that dies 
                                                 
someday comes back   Put your hair up nice and set up pretty
