Young man, there`s no need to feel down
I said young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said young man, `cause your 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 young 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 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 wanna be
I said young man, you can make real your dreams
But you`ve 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 young 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 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

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.
Young man, young man there`s no need to feel down
Young man, young man pick yourself off the ground

Y.M.C.A. and just go to the Y.M.C.A.
