[Spoken Intro: Michael Jackson & The Jacksons]
What I want you to do is say "ABC" one time in a row
You got it?
Hold it, hold it, ha ha, okay, here we go
A, B, C (One, two, three, four)
A-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum (A-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum)

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, (The Jacksons)]
You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like "I" before "E" except after "C"
And why 2 plus 2 makes 4
Now, now, now
I'm gonna teach you (Teach you, teach you)
All about love, girl (All about love)
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
A B C
Easy as, 1 2 3
As simple as, do re mi
A B C, 1 2 3
Baby, you and me, girl
A B C
Easy as, 1 2 3
As simple as, do re mi
A B C, 1 2 3
Baby, you and me, girl
