You can hang out with all the boys
There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
But you've got to know this one thing
I said young man, 'cause your in a new town
No man does it all by himself
I said young man, put your pride on the shelf
You can get yourself clean you can have a good meal
You can get yourself clean you can have a good meal
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
And just go there to the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
And said young man take a walk up the street
You can hang out with all the boys
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy
There's no need to be unhappy
That's when someone came up to me
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

Young man, young man pick yourself off the ground

I'm sure they can help you today
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy
Young Man, I was once in your shoes
I said young man, what do you wanna be
I said I was, down and out with the blues
Young man, are you listening to me
I said young man, you can make real your dreams
Young man, young man there's no need to feel down
You can stay there and I'm sure you will find
I said young man, when you're short on your dough
Many ways to have a good time
Young man, there's a place you can go
You can do whatever you feel
I felt the whole world was so jive
I felt no man cared if I were alive
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
