Anything You Can Do
Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters Lyrics

Anything you can do, I can do better.
I am confident that I can do anything better than you can.

I can do anything better than you.
I possess the ability to do anything better than you possess the ability to do it.

No you can't.
I disagree with your statement asserting your superiority.

Yes I can.
I confidently assert that I can do better than you can.

Anything You can be I can be greater.
I can be greater than you can be at anything.

Sooner or later, I'm greater than you.
At some point in time, I will be greater than you are.

I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge.
My marksmanship skills are superior; I can kill a partridge with a single shot.

I can get a sparrow with a bow and arrow.
I have the ability to catch a sparrow with my bow and arrow skills.

We can do most anything.
We are capable of doing most things.

Can you bake a pie?
Do you have the ability to bake a pie?

No.
I am not capable of baking a pie.

Well Neither can I.
I am also incapable of baking a pie.

Anything you can sing I can sing louder.
My singing abilities are superior to yours; I can even sing louder than you can.

I can sing anything louder than you.
I have the ability to sing any song with more volume than you do.

Sure I can.
Of course I can sing louder than you.

I'm superior, no you're inferior.
I am superior to you; your abilities are inferior to mine.

I'm the big attraction, oh no you are the small.
I am the main draw and you are less important in comparison.

I can beat you at anything', and that's not all.
I am capable of defeating you at anything, and I have other abilities beyond that as well.

Anything you can buy, I can buy cheaper.
I can purchase anything you can purchase, but I can do it for a lower price than you can.

Fifty cents.
I challenge you to purchase something for fifty cents.

Forty cents.
I can purchase the same item for a lower price than fifty cents.

Thirty cents.
I can purchase the item for an even lower price than forty cents.

Twenty cents.
I can purchase the item for the lowest price yet, only twenty cents.

No you can't.
I disagree with your statement that you can purchase the item for a lower price than I can.

Yes I can, yes I can.
I confidently assert that I can purchase the item for a lower price than you can, and I repeat it with emphasis.

Anything you can dig, I can dig deeper.
In terms of digging, I can do better than you can; I can dig deeper.

Thirty feet.
I challenge you to dig a hole thirty feet deep.

Forty feet.
I can dig a deeper hole than thirty feet, all the way to forty feet deep.

Fifty feet.
I can dig the deepest hole of all, to a depth of fifty feet.

I can drink my liquor faster than a flicker.
I can consume alcohol more quickly than a bird can move about.

I can do it quicker and get even sicker.
I can drink even faster and become even more sick as a result.

I can live on bread and cheese.
I can survive on a diet of bread and cheese.

And only on that?
Can you really survive on such a limited diet?

Yep.
Indeed, I can and have survived on that.

So can a rat.
Even a rat can survive on such a diet.

Any note you can reach, I can go higher.
My singing abilities are even better than yours; I can reach higher notes than you can.

I can sing anything higher than you.
I have the ability to sing any song at a higher pitch than you can.

Anyone you can lick, I can lick faster.
I can lick anyone faster than you can lick them.

With your fist?
Are you challenging me to a physical fight?

With my feet.
I can still lick someone faster than you using only my feet.

With your feet?
Is it really possible to lick someone with your feet?

With an axe.
In fact, I could even lick someone faster than you if I had an axe instead of using my hands or feet.

Yes We can.
Together, we possess the ability to do anything better than any one of us alone.
