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.

You can get yourself cleaned, 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.

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 jive ...

That's when someone came up to me,

And said, young man, take a walk up the street.

There'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.

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.

Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.
