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 YMCA

It's fun to stay at the YMCA

They have everything for young men to enjoy

You can hang out with all the boys

It's fun to stay at the YMCA

It's fun to stay at the YMCA

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal

You can do whatever you feel
