Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young I'm A FAGGOT 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...


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.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

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 tight...


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.
