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
