Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
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
Young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure that you'll find
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
YMCA
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel
Young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, what do you wanna be?
Young man, you can make real your dreams
But you've got to know this one thing:
No man does it all by himself
Young man, put your pride on the shelf
Go, man, to the YMCA
I'm sure they can help you today
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
At the YMCA
YMCA
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel
Hey, boys, I wanna see you work those weights
Build up those thighs!
I know you can show me a good time
The things I saw in the sauna were out of sight
I just might take up permanent residence
Young man, I was once in your shoes
I was down and out with the blues
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, "Hey, you, take a walk up the street
It's a place there called the YMCA
They can start you back on your way"
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
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 whatever you feel
