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-AThey have everything
For you 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-AYou can get yourself cleaned
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 want to be?
I said: Young man, you can make real your dreams
But you 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 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 tightThat'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
