Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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've got to know this one thing
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
That's when someone came up to me and said
"Young man, take a walk up the street
It's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way"
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Y.M.C.A., it's fun to stay 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
[Chorus]
Y.M.C.A., it's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
[Outro]
Y.M.C.A., you'll find it at the Y.M.C.A.
No man, no man does it all by himself
Young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf
[Outro]
Y.M.C.A., and just go to the Y.M.C.A.
Young man, young man, I was once in your shoes
Young man, young man, I was down with the blues
[Outro]
Y.M.C.A.
