I said young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said young man, 'cause your 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

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

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
