Song: Anything you CAN do (I CAN do better)
"Yes, I can!" - "No, you can't!"
"Anything You Can Do" is a song composed by Irving Berlin for the 1946 Broadway musical, Annie Get Your Gun. The song is a spirited duet, with one male singer and one female singer attempting to outdo each other in increasingly complex tasks.
Animation: Kim Possible Cartoon
Lyrics
I Believe I Can Fly
A funny scene from the movie "Fun With Dick And Jane"
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
Every night and every cloudy day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
Catch me going through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
Every night and every cloudy day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
Catch me going through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Rude (Magic)
Here's a song to review Past Simple, Present Simple and
Future with 'will' and 'be going to' (gonna).
Rude (Magic)
Saturday morning jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet, all the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah, yeah
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, "I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no! "
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human, too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we’ll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
I hate to do this, you leave no choice, can't live without her
Love me or hate me
We will be both standing at that altar
Or we will run away to another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me,
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, "I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is still no! "
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human, too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude, rude?
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, "I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but ‘No’ still means ‘No’!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human, too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude, rude?
