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, 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, be what you want to be I said, young man, you can make real your dreams But you got to know this one thing
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
