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.

Theres 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.

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.

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.
