[Intro: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
One, two, one, two, three
A-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh (A-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh)

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, The Jackson 5]
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, dear (All about love)
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me

[Chorus: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
ABC, it’s easy
It's like counting up to three
Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
ABC, it’s easy
It's like counting up to three
Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be

[Post-Chorus: Jackson 5]
Come on, let me love you just a little bit
Come on, let me love you just a little bit
I'ma gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Reading, writing, arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But listen without the roots of love, let me tell you, girl
Your education ain't complete
Tea-Tea-Teacher's gonna show you (Show you, show you)
How to get an "A" (Na-na-na-na-na-na)
Spell "me" (Me) "you" (You, add the two)
Listen to me, baby, that's all you gotta do

[Chorus: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Oh, ABC
It’s like counting up to three
Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC)
That’s how easy love can be
ABC, it's easy
It’s like counting up to three
Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
That's how easy love can be
Sing a simple melody
One, two, three
You and me!

[Bridge: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Sit down, girl
I think I love ya
And all I want you to do is repeat after me
Say "A" (A)
Say "B" (B)
Say "C" (C)
Now, I think she's got it
Say one, two, three (One, two, three)
ABC (ABC)
But now I wanna know, do you love me?
[Chorus: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
ABC, it’s easy
It's like counting up to three
Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be

[Post-Chorus: Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson]
I'ma gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about

[Chorus: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three
Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be

[Post-Chorus: Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson]
I'ma gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about

[Chorus: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three
Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
[Post-Chorus: Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson]
I'ma gonna teach you how to sing it out, sing it out
Oh (Sing it)
Oh (Sing it)
Oh baby

[Outro: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three
Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
