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 in a new town
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 men 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
Young man
Are you listenin' to me?
I said, young man
What do 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
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 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
Young man
I was once in your shoes
I said, hours
Down and out with the blues
I felt no man
Cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive
That’s when
Someone came up to me
And said, young man
Take a walk up the street
It’s a place there
Called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way
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 hang out with all the boys
Y.M.C.A.
It’s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
Young man, young man
There's no need to feel down
Young man, young man
Put your self of the ground
Y.M.C.A.
It’s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
