Lyrics

Kidsongs Version

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

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, Yes I can

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 I can't
Yes I can, Yes I can

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, Yes I can, Yes I can, Yes I can, Yes I can
