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 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
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
Just go to the Y M C A
Young man young man
What do you wanna be
Young man young man
What do you wanna be
