**Lyrics:**
          Am                   C  
Well, they blew up the chicken man in  
        G              Am  
Philly last night  
          Am                   C  
Now they blew up his house too  
          G                  Am  
Down on the boardwalk, they're  
        Am               C  
Ready for a fight  
          G                    Am  
Gonna see what them racket boys can do  
  
          Am                C  
Now there's trouble bustin' in from  
        G                  Am  
Outta state  
          Am                    C  
And the D.A. can't get no relief  
          G                  Am  
Gonna be a rumble out on the  
        Am              C  
Promenade  
          G                Am  
And the gambling commission's hangin'  
        Am   C  G  Am  
On by a thread  
  
          Am                  C  
Now, the ring ain't all that  
        G                Am  
You got to lose  
          Am                   C  
But if you wanna win, you gotta  
          G               Am  
Take the chance  
          Am                C  
You got to keep on tryin' to  
        G                 Am  
Get along  
          Am                C  
And try to make a little bit of  
          G               Am  
Your own  
  
          Am                C  
And I got a job, and I got a  
        G                Am  
Dream  
          Am                C  
But if I don't get out of here  
        G                Am  
Soon  
          Am                C  
I'm gonna lose my mind  
          G                Am  
And keep on tryin' to  
          Am   C  G  Am  
Get along
