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 YMCA It’s fun to stay at the YMCA

They have everything for you men to enjoy You can hang out with all the boys

It’s fun to stay at the YMCA It’s fun to stay at the YMCA

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal You can do what ever 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 YMCA I’m sure they can help you today

It’s fun to stay at the YMCA It’s fun to stay at the YMCA

They have everything for you men to enjoy You can hang out with all the boys 

It’s fun to stay at the YMCA It’s fun to stay at the YMCA

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal  You can do what ever 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 tight 

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 YMCA They can start you back on your way

It’s fun to stay at the YMCA It’s fun to stay at the YMCA

They have everything for you men to enjoy You can hang out with all the boys 

YMCA, it’s fun to stay at the YMCA

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

YMCA, it’s fun to stay at the YMCA

Young man, young man, are you listening to me Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?

YMCA, you’ll find it at the YMCA

No man, young man, does it all by himself Young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf YMCA, and just go to the YMCA

Young man, young man I was once in your shoes Young man, young man I was down with the blues, YMCA
