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. You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
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 got to know this one thing! 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.
