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.
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.
YMCA.
They have everything for young men to enjoy.
You can hang out with all the boys.
It's fun to stay at YMCA.
It's fun to stay at YMCA.
You can get yourself clean.
You can have a good meal.
You can do whatever you feel.
Young men,
are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man,
you can make brilliant dreams,
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 YMCA.
I'm sure they can help you today.
It's fun to stay at the YMCA.

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 dry.
That's when someone came up to me and said, young man,
Go walk up the street,
it's a place there
Called the YMCA
They can stalk you back on your way
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything,
fun, good mental joy
You can hang out with all the boys
