Lyrics

The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the BOOM BOOM DANCE cut of Y.M.C.A..

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 Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do what ever 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

  It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
  It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

  They have everything for you men to enjoy
  You can hang out with all the boys

  It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
  It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

  You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
  You can do what ever you feel

Y.M.C.A.
