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
Y-M-C-A, Y-M-C-A
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground
Y-M-C-A, Y-M-C-A
Young man, young man,
Young man, young man...
