Lyrics:
Anything you can do, I can do better
I can do anything better than you
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can, Yes, I can!
Anything you can be, I can be greater
Sooner or later I'm greater than you
No, you're not. Yes, I am.
No, you're not. Yes, I am.
No, you're not. Yes, I am, Yes, I am!
I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge
I can get a sparrow with a bow and arrow
I can live on bread and cheese
And only on that? So can a rat!
Any note you can reach, I can go higher
I can sing anything higher than you
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can!
Anything you can buy, I can buy cheaper
I can buy anything cheaper than you
Fifty cents? Forty cents!
Thirty cents? Twenty cents!
No, you can't! Yes, I can, Yes, I can!
Anything you can say, I can say softer
I can say anything softer than you
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can, Yes I can!
I can drink my liquor faster than a flicker
I can drink it quicker and get even sicker
I can open any safe
Without gettin' caught? That's what I thought you crook!
Any note you can hold, I can hold longer
I can hold any note longer than you
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
Yes, you can!
Anything you can wear, I can wear better
In what you wear I look better than you
In my coat? In your vest!
In my shoes? In your hat!
No, you can't! Yes, I can, Yes, I can!
Anything you say, I can say faster
I can say anything faster than you
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can!
I can jump a hurdle! I can wear a girdle!
I can knit a sweater! I can fill it better!
I can do most anything!
Can you bake a pie? Well, neither can I!
Any note you can sing, I can sing sweeter
I can sing anything sweeter than you
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't. Yes, I can.
No, you can't, can't, can't!
Yes, I can, can, can!
No, you can't! Yes, I can!
