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.

 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 a shelf,
 And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.

 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.
