Lyrics: In The Navy '93 Remix
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, & I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
They have everything for you men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal, You can do whatever you feel 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 got to know this one thing! No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf, & just go there, to the y.m.c.a.
I'm sure they can help you today.
It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
They have everything for you men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal, You can do whatever you feel Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down & 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, & 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.
It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
It's fun to stay at the y m c a.
They have everything for you men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys Y m c a it's fun to stay at the y m c a
Young man, young man there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man pick your self of the ground.
Y m c a it's fun to stay at the y m c a
Young man, young man are you listnig to me.
Young man, young man who do you wanna be.
Y m c a you'll find it at the y m c a.
Young man, young man does it all by his self
Young man, young man put your pride on the shelf
