I Can Do Anything You Can Do Better Lyrics
And now little lady, if you’ll kindly step up to the parapet
I’ll give you a lesson in marksmanship.
You couldn’t give me a lesson in long distance spittin’.
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?
Yes
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 do it quicker and get even sicker
I can open any safe
Without being caught?
Sure
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’d 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 can 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, no, you can’t, no, you can’t, no, you can’t (Yes, I, I, I, 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?
No
Neither can I
Anything 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
Oh, 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, can
No, you can’t (Yes, I can)
