TITLE: Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better
Lyrics and Chords


[Annie Get Your Gun]

[ Cdim7 = xx1212 ]

I'm superior, you're inferior
I'm the big attraction, you're the small
I'm the major one, you're the minor one
I can beat you shootin', that's not all

/ C - Dm - / G7 - C - / - - D7 - / G - Cdim7 G7 /

   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

   / G7 C G7 C / / / Dm7 G7 - - / 

   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 do most anything
Can you bake a pie? No. Neither can I

/ Em - Em6 - / Dm - Dm6 - / D7Am7 D7Am7 D7 - / G7 - Dm7 G7 /

   Anything you can sing I can sing louder
   I can sing anything louder than you
   No you can't....

   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 dig, I can dig deeper
   I can dig anything deeper than you
   Thirty feet, Forty feet, Fifty feet, Sixty feet
   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 live on bread and cheese
And only on that? Yes, So can a rat

   Anything you can reach, I can go higher
   I can sing anything higher than you
   No you can't....

   Anyone you can lick, I can lick faster
   I can lick anyone faster than you
   With your fist? With my feet, With your feet? With an axe
   No you can't, Yes I can, yes I can

   Any school where you went, I could be master
   I could be master much faster than you
   Can you spell, No I can't, Can you add, No I can't
   Can you teach, Yes I can, yes I can 

I could be a racer, quite a steeple chaser
I can jump a hurdle even with my girdle
I can open any safe
With out being caught? Yes, 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 ca-a-a-a-an, Yes you ca-a-an
