 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've got to know this one thing.

 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 jive 
 
 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.
