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,
there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man,
get yourself off the ground.
Y-m-c-a ... just go
to the y-m-c-a.
Young man, young man,
are you listening to me?
Young man, young man,
what do you wanna be?
