Anything You Can Do

Anything You Can Do
music and lyric by Irving Berlin

I'm superior, you're inferior, I'm the big attraction, you're the small;
I'm the major one, you're the minor one, I can beat you shootin'---
That's not all.

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 do most anything.

Can you bake a pie?

No.

Neither can I.

Anything you can sing I can sing louder.
I can sing anything louder 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 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 dig, I can dig deeper.
I can dig anything deeper than you.

Thirty feet.

Forty feet.

Fifty feet.

Sixty feet.

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 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 any note higher 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.
Anyone you can lick, I can lick faster.
I can lick anyone faster than you.

With your fist?

With my feet.

With your feet?

With an axe.

No you can't.

Yes I can, yes I can.
Any school where you went, I could be master.
I could be master much faster than you.

Can you spell?

No I can't.

Can you add?

No I can't.

Can you teach?

Yes I can, yes I can.

I could be a racer, quite a steeplechaser.

I can jump a hurdle even with my girdle.

I can open any safe.

Without being caught?

Yes.

That's what I thought.
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, yes I can.
