Les Paroles :

Michael: A buh-buh buh buh-buh

J5: A buh-buh buh buh-buh

Michael: You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before…

Jermaine: Like I before E except after C…

Michael: And why 2 plus 2 makes four
Now now now, I’m gonna teach you…
J5: Teach you, teach you

Michael: All about love, dear…
J5: All about love

Jermaine: Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is reapeat after me.

CHORUS:

J5: ABC
Michael: Easy as…
J5: 123
Michael: Or simple as…
J5: Do re mi
Michael: ABC, 123, baby, you and me girl!
J5: ABC
Michael: Easy as…
J5: 123
Michael: Or simple as…
J5: Do re mi
Michael: ABC, 123, baby, you and me!

Tito: Come on, let me love you just a little bit!
Jackie: Come on, let me love you just a little bit!
Jermaine: I’m a going to teach how to sing it out!
Michael: Come on, come one, come on
Let me show you what it’s all about!

Reading, writing and arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree

Jermaine: But without the roots of love every day, girl

Michael: Your education ain’t complete
T-T-T-Teacher’s gonna show you

J5: Show you, show you

Michael: How to get an A!

J5: Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!

Michael: Spell « me » « you »
J5: Add the two!
Jermaine: Listen to me baby, that’s all you gotta do!

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Michael: Sit down, girl!
I think I love you!
No!
Get up, girl!
Show me what you can do!

Shake it, shake it, baby, come on now!
Shake it, shake it, baby, ooo oooh!
Shake it shake it, baby, huh!
123, baby, oo ooo!
ABC, baby, nah nah!
Do re mi, baby, huh!
That’s how easy love can be.

J5: ABC
Michael: ABC, it’s easy

Easy as 123
It’s like counting up to 3
Or simple as Do re mi
Sing a simple melody
ALL: That’s how easy love can be!
