I said young man 'cause your in a new town

There's no need to be unhappy

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,

and said young man take a walk up the street

There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.

They can start you back on your way.
