Anything you can do,I can do better.I can do anythingBetter 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 beI 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 partridgeWith a single cartridge.I can get a sparrowWith a bow and arrow.I can live on bread and cheese.And only on that?Yes.So can a rat!
Any note you can reachI can go higher.I can sing anything
Higher than you.No, you can't. (High)Yes, I can. (Higher) No, you can't. (Higher)Yes, I can. (Higher) No, you can't. (Higher)
Yes, I can. (Higher) No, you can't. (Higher)Yes, I can. (Higher) No, you can't. (Higher)Yes, I CAN! (Highest)
Anything you can buyI can buy cheaper.I can buy anythingCheaper than you.
Fifty cents?Forty cents! Thirty cents?Twenty cents! No, you can't!Yes, I can,Yes, I can!
Anything you can sayI can say softer.I can say anythingSofter than you.No, you can't. (Softly)Yes, I can. (Softer) No, you can't. (Softer)Yes, I can. (Softer) No, you can't. (Softer)Yes, I can. (Softer)YES, I CAN! (Full volume)
I can drink my liquorFaster than a flicker.I can drink it quickerAnd get even sicker!I can open any safe.Without getting’ caught?Sure.That's what I thought--you crook!
Any note you can holdI can hold longer.I can hold any noteLonger than you.

Anything you can wearI can wear better.In what you wearI'd look better than you.In my coat?In your vest! In my shoes?In your hat! No, you can't!Yes, I canYes, I CAN!
Anything you sayI can say faster.I can say anythingFaster than you.No, you can't. (Fast)Yes, I can. (Faster) No, you can't. (Faster)Yes, I can. (Faster) No you can't. (Faster)Yes I can! (Fastest)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.
Any note you can singI can sing sweeter.I can sing anythingSweeter than you.No, you can't. (Sweetly)Yes, I can. (Sweeter) No, you can't. (Sweeter)Yes, I can. (Sweeter) No, you can't. (Sweeter)Yes, I can. (Sweeter) No, you can't, can't, can't (sweeter)Yes, I can, can, can (Sugary)
Yes, I can! No, you can't!
