Does anyone know the name of this song...

I first heard a snippet of it on the Michael Jackson: The Legend Continues special. I'm assuming it's a song by the J5, but Michael's voice sounds a little deeper, but anyway it goes...

"When we were tiny little boys...
We used to sing, we used to dance before we even learned to crawl or walk.
When we grew up, we didn't change...
I guess we knew right from the start we loved the spotlights and the stage 'cause we were born to entertain..."

WHEN WE WERE TINY LITTLE BOYS
WE USE TO DANCE, WE USE TO SING
BEFORE WE EVEN LEARNED TO CRAWL OR WALK

AS WE GREW UP WE DIDN'T CHANGE
I GUESS WE KNEW RIGHT FROM THE START
WE'D LOVED THE SPOTLIGHT AND THE STAGE
CAUSE WE WERE BORN TO ENTERTAIN

AND WHEN WE WALK OUT ON THE STAGE
THE WAY WE FEEL DEEP INSIDE
IS SOMETHING MAGIC WHEN THE MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY

WE WANNA BRING A LITTLE HAPPINESS AND LOVE INTO YOUR LIVES
FORGET ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS AND YOUR TROUBLES FOR A LITTLE WHILE


WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
WE LIKE TO DANCE, WE LIKE TO SING
AND DO OUR THING
WE LIKE TO DANCE, WE LIKE TO SING
WE LIKE TO DO OUR THING

THERE'S NO BUSINESS
LIKE SHOW BUSINESS
THERE'S NO BUSINESS
LIKE SHOW BUSINESS

WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
ON STAGE RIGHT NOW

took me about 30 minutes lookin thru all the lyrics just 2 find the name of the song...

I also found out that this album was never promoted by Motown or charted on the Billboards because it was the last one they produced before moving on to CBS and Barry was not about to let it succeed if he couldn't retain any profits from it. wink
