[Spoken Intro: Ed Sullivan]
From Gary, Indiana, here is the youthful Jackson 5
Opening with a medley of their hits that have sold over a million
Each hit

I Want You Back

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (back in your heart)?
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now, since I see you in his arms, uh-huh

[Bridge: The Jackson 5]
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum

[Interlude: Michael Jackson]
Hey, stop the film please
The next song we gotta do is something from the new album

Never Can Say Goodbye

[Randy Jackson & Michael Jackson]
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, I
Randy, what are you doing?
Great song, Mike
The next song we gotta do is something from the new album
Hold on, hold on

Got to Be There

[Randy Jackson & Michael Jackson]
Got to be there, got to be there
In the morning
When she says hello...remember that one?
Randy, why are you singing this old stuff?
Why?
We're supposed to do some of the new songs in this show
In this spot right here
Come on, Mike
Mike, they wanna hear "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," "Dancing Machine," "Daddy's Home," "Sugar Daddy"
Do you wanna hear the old stuff?
How about "I'll Be There"?
See, Mike
Do you wanna hear the old stuff?
You wanna hear the old stuff?
Do you wanna hear it?
Let me say one thing, I wanna say one thing, I wanna say one thing:
Number one, I don't wanna do the old stuff 'cause it's old, okay?
Number two, the choreography is old
The costumes we wore back then were old
I wanna do some of the new stuff
Do you care about that?
Tell him, do you care?
Do you care?
They don't care about that, Mike
They don't care
Okay, I'll tell you what
What, what, what
I'll do the old stuff for you, okay? I'll do it for you
But, wait, wait, wait, I'm doing it for you
I'm not doing it for them, I'm doing it for you
Thanks a lot, that's real nice
But if we do the old stuff, you have to do my favorite medley
What's your favorite medley? Tell me, I don't know
You'll see
