Anything you can do lyrics
by Ethel Merman



& Kay Middleton

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 any thing 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 bein' 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
Yes, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I No, you C-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-N'T--
I-I-I-I-I CA-A-A-A-N!
Yes, you ca-a-a-an!

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 say I can say faster.
I can say anything faster than you.
No, you can't.

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.)
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
Yes, I can! No, you can't!
