| You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find |
| 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 ... |
|
| That's when someone came up to me, |
| And said, young man, take a walk up the street. |
| There's a place there called the
y-m-c-a. |
