Lyrics
Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, take yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause you're new in this 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
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 life a dream
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 you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
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, young man, I was down with the blues
I felt no one cared if I was alive
I felt the whole world was so jive
That's when someone walked 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
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
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, get yourself off the ground
