ABC (Alternate Version) Lyrics by The Jackson 5

I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters

1970

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never knew before
"I before E, except after C"
And why two plus two makes four
Now I'm gonna teach you (All about love!)
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
It's easy as (A, B, C)
It's simple as (1, 2, 3)
(Do-Re-Mi) Uh-huh
(A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
It's easy as (A, B, C)
It's simple as (1, 2, 3)
Just like singin' (Do-Re-Mi) Uh-huh
(A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (A, B, C, 1, 2, 3)
Uh-huh (Do-Re-Mi, A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
[Bridge: Michael Jackson]
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, sing a song now
Na-na-na-na-na, and I tell you now
Na-na-na-na
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
Reading and writing arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
Ooh, without the roots of love, girl
Your education ain't complete
Teacher's gonna show you (How to get an "A"!)
Spell me, you (You add the two)
Take it from me baby, that's all you gotta do!
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
It's easy as (A, B, C)
It's simple as (1, 2, 3)
Just like singin' (Do-Re-Mi) Uh-huh
(A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
It's easy as (A, B, C)
It's simple as (1, 2, 3)
Just like singin' (Do-Re-Mi) Uh-huh
(A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (A, B, C, 1, 2, 3)
Uh-huh, ah yes (Do-Re-Mi, A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
[Refrain: Michael Jackson]
It's easy as (1, 2, 3, you and me)
No no no (1, 2, 3, you and me)
It's easy as (1, 2, 3, you and me)
So simple (1, 2, 3) You and me!
[Bridge 1: Michael Jackson]
Sit down, girl!
I think I love you!
And all I want you to do
Is repeat after me!
Say A! (A!)
Say B! (B!)
Say C! (C, honey!)
Oh I think she's got it!
Say 1, 2, 3! (1, 2, 3!)
A, B, C! (A, B, C!)
But now I wanna know do you love me!
[Outro: Jermaine Jackson & Michael Jackson]
It's easy! Baby, baby! (A, B, C)
It's simple! Baby, baby! (1, 2, 3)
Sing it! Baby, baby! (Do-Re-Mi)
(A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
Na-na-na-na-na, everybody
Na-na-na-na
It's easy! Yeah, yeah! (A, B, C)
It's simple! Yeah, yeah! (1, 2, 3)
Sing it! Yeah, yeah! (Do-Re-Mi)
(A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
Na-na-na-na-na, come on, y'all
Na-na-na-na
It's easy! Baby, yeah now! (A, B, C)
It's simple! Yeah, yeah, yeah! (1, 2, 3)
Sing it! Yeah, yeah, yeah! (Do-Re-Mi)
(A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, you and me)
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
