Young man, young man there's no need to feel down
I said I was, down and out with the blues
You can stay there and I'm sure you will find
You can hang out with all the boys
But you've got to know this one thing
I said young man, you can make real your dreams
And just go there to the Y.M.C.A.
I said young man, what do you wanna be
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
There's no need to be unhappy
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
You can get yourself clean you can have a good meal
Young man, are you listening to me
I felt the whole world was so jive
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy
That's when someone came up to me
Young man, young man pick yourself off the ground
You can hang out with all the boys
There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
Young man, there's a place you can go
You can get yourself clean you can have a good meal
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 can start you back on your way
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
No man does it all by himself
I felt no man cared if I were alive
You can do whatever you feel
I said young man, 'cause your in a new town
They have everything for young men to enjoy
I said young man, when you're short on your dough
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
I said young man, put your pride on the shelf
I'm sure they can help you today
You can do whatever you feel
