Young man there's no need to feel down
I said young man put yourself off the ground
I said young man there's no need to be
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 have a good meal You can get yourself cleaned
You can do whatever you feel
Young man are you listening to me
I said young man what do you want to be
I said young man you don't have to know this
Not to know this one thing
No man do it all by himself
I said young man put your pride on the shelf
And just go there to the Y M C A
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
