Village People - Ymca lyrics

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 YMCA (rpt)

They have everything for young men to enjoy

You can hang out with all the boys

Young man, are you listening to me

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 that one thing

No man does it all by himself

I said young man, put your pride on the shelf

And just go there, to the YMCA

I'm sure they can help you today

Chorus

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 was 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 YMCA

They can start you back on your way

It's fun to stay at the YMCA (rpt)

You can get yourself clean

You can have a good meal

You can do whatever you feel
