I said young man, what do you wanna be
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
And just go there to the Y.M.C.A.
Young man, are you listening to me
And said young man take a walk up the street
Young Man, I was once in your shoes
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy
No man does it all by himself
You can hang out with all the boys
You can do whatever you feel
I said young man, when you're short on your dough
You can do whatever you feel
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 men to enjoy
You can stay there and I'm sure you will find
You can get yourself clean you can have a good meal
They can start you back on your way
I said I was, down and out with the blues
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
That's when someone came up to me
There's no need to be unhappy
Young man, there's a place you can go
I said young man, you can make real your dreams

But you've got to know this one thing
I said young man, 'cause your in a new town
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

I'm sure they can help you today
I said young man, put your pride on the shelf

Many ways to have a good time
