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, 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

It's fun to stay at the 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 all the boys
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a
You can get yourself cleaned
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

Body (body), wanna feel my body, baby?
(Wanna feel my body, baby?)
Body, baby, such a thrill, my body
(Such a thrill, my body, yeah yeah)

Body, baby, it's too much, my body
(It's too much, my body, yeah yeah)

Every man wants to be a macho, macho man
To have the kind of body always in demand
Joggin' in the mornings, go, man, go
Workouts in the health spa, muscles grow
You can best believe me
He's a macho man
Glad he took you down with anyone you can
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Macho, macho man, hey hey
