YMCA

Young man, there's no need to feel down

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground

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

Young man, when you're short on your dough

You can stay there, and I'm sure that you'll find

Many ways to have a good time

It's fun to stay at the YMCA

YMCA

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal

You can do whatever you feel  

Young man, are you listening to me?

Young man, what do you wanna be?

Young man, you can make real your dreams

But you've got to know this one thing:

No man does it all by himself

Young man, put your pride on the shelf

Go, man, to the YMCA

I'm sure they can help you today

It's fun to stay at the YMCA

YMCA  

They have everything for you men to enjoy

You can hang out with all the boys

At the YMCA

YMCA  

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal

You can do whatever you feel    

Hey, boys, I wanna see you work those weights

Build up those thighs!

I know you can show me a good time

The things I saw in the sauna were out of sight

I just might take up permanent residence

Young man, I was once in your shoes

I was down and out with the blues

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, "Hey, you, take a walk up the street

It's a place there called the YMCA

They can start you back on your way"

It's fun to stay at the YMCA

YMCA

They have everything for you men to enjoy

You can hang out with all the boys

At the YMCA

It's fun to stay at the YMCA

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal

You can do whatever you feel    

YMCA

At the YMCA

They have everything for you men to enjoy  

You can hang out with all the boys

At the YMCA

It's fun to stay at the...
