Y. M. C. A.

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

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 want to be?

i said, young man, you can make real your dreams

but you 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, i was, 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

that's when someone walked up to me

and said, young man, take a walk up the street

answered, they said, 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
