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 you 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 cleaned, you can have a good meal,



You can do whatever you feel ...



 



Young man, are you listening to me?



I said, young man, what do you want to be?



I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.



But you 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 you 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 cleaned, you can have a good meal,



You can do whatever you feel ...



Young 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 tight ...



That'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 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 you men to enjoy,



You can hang out with all the boys ...



Y-m-c-a ... You'll find it at the y-m-c-a.



Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.



Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.



Y-m-c-a ... You'll find it at the y-m-c-a.



Young man, young man, are you listening to me?



Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
