[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A., Y.M.C.A. 
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all your boys
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A., Y.M.C.A. 
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

[Verse 2]
"Young man, are you listenin' to me?", I said
"Young man, what do you want to be?", I said
Young man, you can make real your dreams
But you'vе got to know this one thing
"No man does it all by himself", I said
Young man, put your pridе on the shelf
And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A. 
I'm sure they can help you today
[Chorus]
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A., Y.M.C.A. 
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all your boys
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A., Y.M.C.A. 
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

[Outro]
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A., Y.M.C.A. 
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all your boys
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A., Y.M.C.A.
