Young man, there's need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said young man cause your 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.

Its fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A

You can hang out with all the boys ...

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.
