A-buh, buh, buh, buh, boo, buh!
(Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh!)

You went to school to learn, girl,
Things you never, never knew before!
Li-hi-ike "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,
Oh, all you gotta do is repeat after me:

ABC, easy as 123,
Oh, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, 123 baby you and me girl.
ABC, easy as 123
Oh simple as Do Re Mi
ABC 123, baby you and me girl!

Let me love you just a little bit.
Come on, let me love you just a little bit.
I'm a-gonna teach you how to sing it out!
Com-a, com-a, come on let me show you what it's all about!

Reading and writing, 'rithmetic,
Are the branches of the learning tree!
Well, sista, without the roots of love, let me tell ya, girl,
Your education ain't complete!

Tee-tee-tee-teacher's gonna show you,
(Show you, show you!)
How to get an "A"! (Da-da-da-da-da-da!)
Spell "me"! (Me!) "You!" (You--add the two!)
Listen to me baby, that's all you gotta do!

Oh, ABC it's easy as 123
Oh, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, 123 baby you and me girl
ABC, it's easy, it's like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That's how easy love can be
That's how easy love can be
Sing a simple melody
123, you and me!

Yeah...yeah!

Sit down girl I think I love ya!
No, get up girl, show me what you can do!
Shake it, shake it baby, come on now
Shake it, shake it baby, oo oo
Shake it, shake it baby, help me
123, baby, oo oo
ABC, baby, now now
Do Re Mi, baby
Now, that's how easy love can be!

ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That's how easy love can be!

Come on gonna teach how to sing it out
Com-a, com-a, come on let me show you what it's all about
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That's how easy love can be!

Come on gonna teach how to sing it out, sing it out, sing it
Oh oh oh baby, ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to 3
Sing a simple melody
That's how easy love can be!
