Lyrics:

-Intro-

Young man,
theres no need to feel down, I said,
young man, pick you self off the ground,
I said,
young man, cause you in a new town,
theres no need to be unhappy,
Young man,
theres a place you can go,
I said,
young man, when you short on your dough,
you can stay there,
and I sure will find
many ways to have a good time.
Its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
its 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.
Its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
you can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
you can do what your body feel.
Young man,
are you listening to me,
I said, young man,
what a you wanna be,
I said young man,
you can make real your dreams,
but youve got to know this one thing.
No man, does it all by himself,
I said young man, put your pride in the shelf,
and just go there,
to the Y M C A
Im sure they can help you today.
Its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
its 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.
Its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
you can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
you can do what your body 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 jive.
Thats when
someone come up to me and said,
young man, take a walk up the street,
its a place there
called the Y M C A
they can start you back on your way.
Its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
its 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.
Its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
its fun to stay at the Y M C A,
you can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
you can do what your body feel.
Y M C A.
