Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause your 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 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'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
Chorus
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 jive
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. Chorus
