Lyrics:

Young man, theres no need to feel down

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground

I said, young man, cause your in a new town

Theres no need to be unhappy



Young man, theres a place you can go

I said, young man, when youre short on your dough

You can stay there, and Im sure you 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 you 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 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 youve 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.

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 you 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 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 jive



Thats when someone came up to me

And said young man take a walk up the street

Theres 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 you men to enjoy

You can hang out with all the boys



Y.M.C.A.

Youll find it at the Y.M.C.A.

Young man, young man, theres no need to feel down

Young man, young man, pick 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 did you want to be



Y.M.C.A.

Youll find it at the Y.M.C.A.

No man, young man, does it all by himself

Young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf
