Young man, are you listenin' to me? I said, young man, I want to make you feel good Young man, you're a young man, hard man Shout it loud and clear, "Hey, I, I, I"

Young man, I was once in your shoes I said, young man, I was once just like you And then I had a crazy idea, oh yeah I put on a costume, and I went to a Y.M.C.A.

Young man, there's a place you can go I said, young man, it's called the Y.M.C.A. They have everything for you men to enjoy You can hang out with the boys

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 the boys

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 the boys

Here are the 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

The song's chorus, with its repetitive and easy-to-remember lyrics, became a staple of dance floors and parties everywhere. The Village People's lead singer, Victor Willis, wrote the song, and it's still widely popular today.
