Allting som ni gör kan jag göra bättre

Allting som ni gör kan jag göra bättre (English: "Everything you can do, I can do better") is the eighth studio album by Swedish pop and rock artist Magnus Uggla. It was released in 1987. The album consists only of cover songs. The title is a reference to both the fact that the entire album is cover songs, "you" being the original artists, and also a call-back to the musical Annie Get Your Gun. Most of the songs are famous recordings from the progg era.

The original LP has a version of "Vem kan man lita på where the lyrics ”och Robert Zimmerman flytt till landet med miljonerna” ("and Robert Zimmerman has fled to the country with the millions") is replaced by ”och Björn Afzelius har flytt till Italien med miljonerna” ("and Björn Afzelius has fled to Italy with the millions"). That version was later censored on request of songwriter Mikael Wiehe (a friend and musical collaborator of Afzelius) and on later versions of this album Uggla sings the original lyrics.
