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

You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal, You can do
whatever you feel ... 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. It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a. They have

there's no need to feel down. Young man, young man, get yourself off the
ground. Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it 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. Y-m-c-a ... just go to the y-m-c-a. Young man,
young man, are you listening to me? Young man, young man, what do you wanna
be?
