I said, young man, cause youre in a new town
Theres no need to be unhappy.

Many ways to have a good time.

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 tight ...
Thats when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
Theres a place there called the y.m.c.a.
They can start you back on your way.
