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 unhappyYoung 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 timeIt'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 boysIt'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 feelYoung man, are you listening to me
I said young man, what do you wanna be
I said young man, you can make real your dreams
But you've got to know this one thingNo 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 todayIt'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 boysIt'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 feelYoung Man, I was once in your shoes
I said I was, down and out with the blues
I felt no man, cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jiveThat's when someone, came up to me
And said young man, take a walk up the street
There's a place there, called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your wayIt'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 there's no need to feel down
Young man, young man pick yourself off the groundY.M.C.A. and just go to the Y.M.C.A.
