[Intro: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
We can have so much fun
(Yes, we can now, darlin')
We can have so much fun
(We can have) Yes, we can (so much fun, yeah)
Yes, we can
(Ooh, yes, we can) Yes, we can, so much fun

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
I may not be the apple of your affection (Affection)
Or the dreams you've been dreamin' about (Dreamin' about)
Let's turn our hearts in that direction
Little girl, while we're finding life
If it's on your heart
One, two, three, get ready, let's start

[Chorus: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
We can have so much fun (Oh yеah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Wе can have so much fun (So much fun now, baby)
We can have so much fun (Oh yeah, yeah)
We can have so much fun (Ooh)
We can have fun (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Might find out you don't know the ropes
And maybe baby, I'm not your cup of tea
While we defy the horoscope
Why, they know that I'm for you, and baby you're for me
Here's my hand, take a chance
May not find true romance

[Chorus: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
We can have so much fun (Oh yeah, yeah)
We can have so much fun (Come on, baby)
We can have so much fun (Ooh, so much fun yeah, yeah, yeah)
We can have so much fun (Ooh)
We can have fun (Ooh)

[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson]
We don't know what tomorrow may bring
Until tomorrow, that's bringing it, bringing it
Let's hit a note we both can sing
Let's find a bell, and girl, let's ring it, ring it, ring it

[Verse 3: Jermaine Jackson]
There ain't no need to keep on hesitatin'
Nowhere to run, love's in a rush, oh oh
We should get slidin' while we're waiting
To see if it's love or just a crush
Oh fee-fi-fo-fum, baby, here I come

[Chorus: The Jackskon 5]
We can have so much fun
We can have so much fun
We can have so much fun
We can have fun

[Outro: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
(Hey, hey!) We can have so much fun (Yeah yeah)
We can have so much fun
(So much, so much fun, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We can have so much fun (Ooh, ooh)
We can have so much fun
(So much, so much fun, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We can have so much fun

The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
