- Young man,
- there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man,
Pick youself 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 goodtime
**
- 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.

- ** Repeat
-
- 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 ...
- 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,
- Get yourself off the ground.
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,
- Get yourself off the ground.
