The Jackson 5 - ABC
[Intro: Michael Jackson]
A buh-buh buh buh
A buh-buh buh buh
[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like "I before E, except after C"
And why two plus two makes four
Now now now, I'm gonna teach you (Teach you, teach you)
All about love, yeah! (All about love!)
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
A, B, C
Easy as 1, 2, 3
Or simple as Do-Re-Mi
A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, baby you and me, girl!
A, B, C
Easy as 1, 2, 3
Or simple as Do-Re-Mi
A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, baby you and me, girl!
[Bridge: Tito Jackson, Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson & Michael Jackson]
Come on, let me love you just a little bit!
Come on, let me love you just a little bit!
I'ma gonna teach how to sing it out!
Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it's all about!
"ABC" was a 1970 number-one hit song by The Jackson 5. "ABC" was written with the same design as "I Want You Back", and was first heard on American Bandstand in February 1970. The song also knocked The Beatles song "Let It Be" out of the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 that same year. Like most of the other early Jackson 5 hits, "ABC" was written and produced by The Corporation, a team composed of Motown chief Berry Gordy, Freddie Perren, Alphonzo Mizell, and Deke Richards and recorded in Los Angeles, California, away from the old Motown studio at Hitsville USA in Detroit, Michigan. "ABC" was the first single from the second Jackson 5 album, ABC, issued with a cover of Diana Ross & the Supremes' "The Young Folks" as the B-side. It is today one of the Jackson 5's signature songs. The song has also been sampled by Naughty by Nature for their 1991 single "O.P.P.", also by Girl Talk on his fourth album Feed the Animals.
