blurrified memories

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.
those were memories that may never matter again
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.
those were times that our friendship felt real
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
yet when reality plays its game again
They have everything for young men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
it rips all these away
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
now everything is blurrified and may be lost
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
now everything may just be gone
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!
but i have not given up
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.
not liike once before
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
theres still salvation at the end
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
im ready for all the shots and flares
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
im prepared to take a long journey
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
i will work it slow but surely
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 ...
i will stay and stick around like i said
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.
but please have faith once mroe again
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
let the wall be down even if its a little
They have everything for young men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
for im charging in once again
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a
to break this wall down again
Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down
Young man, young man, pick yourself off the ground
so hate me scold me or kill me
It's fun to stay at y-m-c-a
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a
but this friendship, im gonna save
Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
y-m-c-a
you are a friend i cannot lose.
