Macho Man
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 ...
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
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 ...
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
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 for you men to enjoy
you can hang out with all the boys ...
y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a
young man, young man, there's no need to feel down
young man, young man, get yourself off the ground
y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a
young man, young man, there's no need to feel down
young man, young man, get yourself off the ground
y-m-c-a ... just go to the y-m-c-a
young man, young man, are you listening to me?
young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
Where can you find pleasure, search the world for treasure
learn science, technology?
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
on the land or on the sea?
Where can you learn to fly, play in sports or skindive
study oceanography?
Sign up for the big band or sit in the grand stand
when your team and others meet
In the Navy, yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the Navy, yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the Navy, come on now people, make a stand
In the Navy, can't you see we need a hand
In the Navy, come on, protect the motherland
In the Navy, come on and join your fellow, man
In the Navy, come on, people, and make a stand
In the Navy, in the Navy
They want you! They want you! They want you as a new recruit!
If you like adventure don't you wait to enter
the recruiting office fast
Don't you hesitate, there is no need to wait;
they're signing up new seamen fast
Maybe you are too young to join up today
but don't you worry 'bout the thing
for I'm sure there will be always the good Navy
protecting the land and sea
In the Navy...
They want you! They want you! They want you as a new recruit!
They want you! They want you! They want you as a new recruit!
..But..but..but I'm afraid of water!
..hey..hey..look, men...
I get seasick even watching it on the TV!
They want You! - Oh my goodness!
They want you! - What am I gonna do in a submarine?
They want you! They want you!
In the Navy
In the Navy... (fade out)
Body...wanna feel my body?
Body...such a thrill my body
Body...wanna touch my body?
Body...it's too much my body
Check it out my body, body
Don't you doubt my body, body
talkin' bout my body, body
check it out my body
Every man wants to be a macho macho man
to have the kind of body, always in demand
Jogging in the mornings, go man go
works out in the health spa, muscles glow
You can best believe that, he's a macho man
ready to get down with, anyone he can
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man (macho man)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! Ow...
Macho, macho man
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man (yeah, yeah)
I've got to be a macho!
Body, its so hot, my body
Body, love to pop my body
Body, love to please my body
Body, don't you tease my body
Body, you'll adore my body
Body, come explore my body
Body, made by God, my body
Body, it's so good, my body
You can tell a macho, he has a funky walk
his western shirts and leather, always look so boss
Funky with his body, he's a king
call him Mister Eagle, dig his chains
You can best believe that, he's a macho man
likes to be the leader, he never dresses grand
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! (all right)
Macho, macho man (yeah, yeah)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! All Right!
Ugh! Macho..baby!
Body, body, body wanna feel my body
Body, body, body gonna thrill my body
Body, body, body don'tcha stop my body
Body, body, body it's so hot my body
Every man ought to be a macho macho man
To live a life of freedom, machos make a stand
Have their own life style and ideals
Possess the strength and confidence, life's a steal
You can best believe that he's a macho man
He's a special person in anybody's land
Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Macho, macho man (macho man)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! (dig the hair on my chest)
Macho, macho man (see my big thick mustache)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! (Dig broad shoulders)
Macho, macho man (dig my muscles!)
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho!
Macho, macho man
I've got to be, a macho man
Macho, macho man
I've got to be a macho! HEY!
