I can drink my liquor faster than a flicker
I can do it quicker and get even sicker

I could be a racer, quite a steeplechaser
I can jump a hurdle even in my girdle
I can open any safe
Without being caught?

That's what I thought
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!
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 ax

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!
