Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A buh-buh buh buh-buh
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
All about love, dear
All about love
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
ABC
Easy as
One, two, three
Or simple as
Do re mi
ABC, one, two, three, baby, you and me girl
ABC
Easy as
One, two, three
Or simple as
Do re mi
ABC, one, two, three, baby, you and me
Come on, let me love you just a little bit
Come on, let me love you just a little bit
I'm a going to teach how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it's all about
Reading, writing and arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But without the roots of love every day, girl
Your education ain't complete
T-T-T-Teacher's gonna show you
Show you, show you
How to get an A
Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah
Spell "me" "you"
Add the two
Listen to me baby, that's all you gotta do
Oh, ABC
As easy as
One, two, three
Or simple as
Do re mi
ABC, one, two, three, baby, you and me girl
ABC
It's easy
It's like counting up to three (One, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
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, ooh ooh
Shake it shake it, baby, huh
One, two, three, baby, ooh ooh
ABC, baby, nah nah
Do re mi, baby, huh
That's how easy love can be
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (One, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
(I'm not gonna teach you how to sing it out)
Come on come on come on let me show you what it's all about
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (One, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
(I'm not gonna teach you how to sing it out)
Sing it out, sing it, sing it, sing it
Oh baby, ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (One, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be
The song ABC by The Jackson Five and Freemasons is a classic pop hit that encourages the listener to learn about love through sing-along education. The opening sounds bellowing "buh-buh buh buh-buh" set a playful tone that lets us know we're in for some fun. The song's lyrics start with the singer reminiscing about school days when they were learning things they never knew before, followed by a promise to teach their love interest about love. The song then asks the listener to sit down and repeat after the singer- saying the letters of the alphabet as easy as one, two, three, or do re mi. The song then plays with the concept of learning- saying reading, writing, and arithmetic are branches of the learning tree but that without love, your life's education isn't complete.
ABC's lyrics are easy to understand and sing, making it an excellent song to teach young children the alphabets in a fun and memorable way. The song's upbeat music complements the lyrics' cheerful nature, making it easy and impossible not to dance to. The songβs catchy chorus, composed of different songs and melodies, makes it suitable for sing-alongs and dancing.
