Y.M.C.A. Lyrics
Artist(Band):Village People
Review The Song (36)Print the Lyrics
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 that you need 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 clean, 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've 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.

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 that you need 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 clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...

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 jive ...

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
It's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way.

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 that you need to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

YMCA
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A
Young man, young man there's no need to feel down
Young man, young man pick yourself off the ground

Y-M-C-A
then just go to the Y-M-C-A
young man, young man I was once in your shoes
young man, young man I said, I was down and out with the blues.
Y-M-C-A

the gay bashers make me laugh.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/29/09

I am straight and form what I raed there are a few homophibics out here. Anyway, you can say
whatever but the truth is that the disco era was
great. To bad you couldn't enjoyed it because you couldn't dance, was to old or to young.
Maybe you are way to macho and you are a hard
core man(I am scared). All that tells me is that you are afraid you might like it. Don't be afraid you know who you are.



Hilarious | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/14/09

LMAO The last guy out hate-mongering against people who disagree with him, calling vile names, and accusing him of being "a pansy because he wouldn't sign his real name" - written by a guy who also uses a screen name. Look around pal - nobody uses their real name including you. And it would mean nothing to you if they did. People that use such silliness usually don't have much to say anyway.

People are entitled to their opinions including you and the other guy. If your mission is to attack others, call them names, and envision yourself as the word police, then doesn't that make you what they are - plus a hypocrite?

The song is what it is, and like many others, can be taken in a variety of ways. I think the group was probably all looking to cash in on a few bucks to take a chance being suggestive. The VP put out a lot of songs with completely stupid lyrics and most of them sounded the same. Yet they are all still fun to dance to if you aren't in your corner trying to decide if it's a gay song or just hating everyone who does. I don't want to be around either of you losers.

So whatever your opinion or whether you are just out hating other people with opinions, give it a rest and go dance a bit. Honestly, nobody really cares what you think, and you think way too much of yourself if you are out there blasting others for their opinions.



Don't be such an ignorant sod. | Reviewer: A Homophobophobe | 4/16/09

Directed at Anonymous. I'd like you to go into a bit more detail as to why disco sucks so much. I would like you to explain your reasoning behind the accusation that it is gay music, and furthermore elaborate as to why being gay is such a terrifying prospect.
Discos were created for people to let go of the troubles of the 70's and dance the night away. If you're too much of an uptight, homophobic, neo-nazi asshole to accept that, then at the least leave the gays that you fear so much and, in fact, don't exist, alone.
You say you were scarred for life by this song when you were a kid? All that tells me is that you've been a bible-thumping bastard for your entire life. Apparently you don't have any friends at all, or else you wouldn't find the idea of hanging out with other men so repulsive. No, women don't find it attractive that you hate other men so much, or have to be a bigoted killjoy and too much of a pansy to even sign your real name, and especially that you would only visit a club to get into some girl's pants.
You're more vile than the terrible, terrible gays that you percieve everywhere men don't act like complete assholes to everyone around then, because anything less isn't manly enough.

Read a book for once in your life.



To The Person Who Wrote:The lyrics aren't gay but the song is | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/14/09

You are an idiot! I mean if you dont like disco then why are you looking at these lyrics or even looking at this song?! I mean so what if they're talking about being gay or not?! Who cares about what they do or not?! And what is "gay music"? If you tell me that this song is gay music then your saying my whole family is listening to gay music cuz we almost always play this song at our family gatherings. And thats a lot of people your talking about there cuz my family is huge! I'd hate it if your part of my family.....



It's a song! Get over it! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/10/09

First of all, I don't care what men do at the YMCA, gay or straight! I just like the song! I grew up listening to Disco and, although it may be dead, it still gets me moving every time I hear it and it's just plain fun to sing and dance along to. As for this guy: The lyrics aren't gay but the song is. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/13/09. Talk about homophobic. I'm not gay, I'm a straight woman but honestly, who cares? You say, "we have to endure in the pursuit of women?" These "places" as you put it are not the only place to find straight women. Sounds like an excuse for someone who's fishing in the gay pond!!!!!



We just talked about this in my American Studies class | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/3/09

Back in the 70's some YMCA's were a place were gay people would go and have a lot of sex. Im not implying that all YMCA's were like this but a few in "the city" did such things. C'mon this was the 70's, the gay movement was in full gear, and everyone knows The Village People were homosexuals. Let your grandpa know next time you see him spelling with his arms. Also, dont touch the equipment.



Back in the Day | Reviewer: dorothy | 3/12/09

During WWII my uncles would come home for R&R and I asked where they stayed in "town" they told me "the Y.M.C.A., it has inexpensive rooms and showers". My Uncles were not gay' they were outdoors men from the logging country. All of them join up the day after "Pearl" that was in 1948.... things change qith time. I young friend (21 Yrs old) told me it's known to be a gay hangout now.



to the person below me | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/27/09

To the person below me: You are an idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Many people go to work out including women. Most people that go to the YMCA are straight. So by working out (which can be considered manly) I don't see how you are fishing in a "gay pond" I bet by your logic the boy scouts, the army, and football teams are all "gay ponds".

And as for music there is no such thing as "gay music" that like saying rap is "black music" it is both made by and listened to by white people too you dolt.

Oh and by the way if you really are the "manly man" that you seem to think you are why the hell are you afraid of gay people?

You must be a coward.



The lyrics aren't gay but the song is. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/13/09

First of all, disco sucks. It is not fun. It is gay. The fact that straight chicks go to discos does not make these clubs non-gay. If you are a straight guy going to one of these clubs you are fishing in a gay pond. Everyone in a disco looks like a lascivious clown. So for non-gays these places are not fun they are just something we have to endure in the pursuit of women. And as for the YMCA song - no the lyrics are not gay per say. But the music is hopelessly gay. And when you combine gay music with lyrics about a place where men go to hang out and have good time you have a gay song. This song is SO gay that as a kid when I first heard it I actually actually thought that the YMCA was a gay organization. I would even go so far as to say that, to this day, this song psychologically scarred me so much that even the idea of being near a YMCA creeps me out. No, if I want to have a good time I'll check out the YWCA instead.
