Bernadette Peters – Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) lyrics
Annie: Anything you can do I can do better
... I can do anything better than you
Frank: No, you can't
Annie: Yes, I can
Frank: No, you can't
Annie: Yes, I can
Frank: No, you can't
Annie: Yes, I can, yes, I can

Frank: Anything you can be I can be greater
... Sooner or later I'm greater than you
Annie: No, you're not

Frank: Yes, I am
Annie: No, you're not
Frank: Yes, I am, yes I am

Frank: I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge
Annie: I can get a sparrow with a bow and arrow
Frank: I can live on bread and cheese
Annie: And only on that?
Frank: Yes
Annie: So can a rat

Frank: Any note you can reach I can go higher

Frank: No, you can't
Annie: Yes, I can, yes, I can

Frank: I can drink my liquor faster than a flicker
Annie: I can do it quicker and get even sicker
Frank: I can open any safe
Annie: Without being caught?
Frank: *scoff* too bad
Annie: That's what I thought (you crook)

Frank: Any note you can hold I can hold longer
Annie: I can hold any note longer than you
Frank: No, you can't

Annie: I can say anything faster than you
Frank: Noyoucan't
Annie: Yesican
Frank: Noyoucan't
Annie: Yesican
Frank: Noyoucan't
Annie: Yesican
Frank: Noyoucan't
Annie: Yesican

Frank: I can jump a hurdle
Annie: I can wear a girdle
Frank: I can knit a sweater
Annie: I can fill it better
Frank: I can do most anything
Annie: Can you bake a pie?
Frank: No
Annie: Neither can I

Frank: Anything you can sing I can sing sweeter
Annie: I can sing anything sweeter than you
Frank: No, you can't
Annie: Yes, I can
Frank: No, you can't
Annie: Oh, yes, I can
Frank: No, you can't
