C Y.M.C.A., Village People
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
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA, It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It’s fun to stay 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
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 YMCA
I’m sure they can help you today
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA, It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It’s fun to stay 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
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 YMCA
They can start you back on your way
It’s fun to stay at the YMCA, It’s fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It’s fun to stay 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
