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 this 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 Y.M.C.A. 
I'm sure they can help you today.

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. 
It's a place there called the Y.M.C.A. 
They can start you back on your way.
