The Lyrics
Sheldon, there's no need to be a clown
I said, Sheldon, toss some pennies on the ground
I said, Sheldon , wants to be a man about town
There's no Jewish cowboys
Sheldon, I said, don't be a schmo
I said, Sheldon, when you like to count dough
Become an accountant , and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to charge for your time
(Chorus 1:)
It's fun to become a YMCA
It's fun to become a YMCA
Accounting is something young men enjoy
Soon you'll become one of the old boys
It's fun to become a YMCA
It's fun to become a YMCA
You can count all those beans, you can write off your meal
You can do anything but steal
Sheldon, are you listening to Hymie?
He said, Sheldon, what do you want to be?
He said, Sheldon, you can fulfill our mom's dreams
So you've got to become an accountant
Sheldon, with no jar of gefilte fish on the shelf
He said, Sheldon, put your Talmud on the shelf
And just go become a YMCA
I'm sure our mom won't say "oy vay"
(Repeat chorus 1)
Sheldon, he once worked selling shoes
He said, wingtips are always in style for Jews
He just had to say sometimes "Oy givalt
My uncle Irving Katz was so tight"
That's when Moishe came to greet
And said, "Sheldon, next to the deli up the street
There's mensch there called the YMCA
Those Yiddish Men Called Accountants
(Chorus 2:)
It's fun to become a YMCA
It's fun to become a YMCA
Accounting is something young men enjoy
Soon you'll become one of the old boys
YMCA
It's fun to become a YMCA
Sheldon, Sheldon, Joey Bishop is in town
Sheldon, Sheldon, toss some pennies on the ground
(Chorus 3:)
YMCA
And just go become a YMCA
Sheldon, Sheldon, now wears Florsheim shoes
Sheldon, Sheldon, he's down with the Jews
YMCA
