| 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
|

|
| 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
|

|
| 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
