Young man - there's no need to feel down
I said: young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said: young man, 'cause you're really not down
There's no need to be unhappy
Young man, there's a place you can go
I said young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there and I'm Sure You Will find
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young man to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel
Woa, young man, are you listening to me?
I said: young man, what to you want to be
I said: young man, you can make real your dreams
But you've got to know this one thing:
No man, does it all by himself
I said: young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.
I'm sure they can help you today
Young man, I was once in your shoes
I said: I was down and out with the blues
There's a place there, called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way
