Lyrics

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Things have come to a pretty pass

Our romance is growing flat

For you like this and the other

while I go for this and that

Goodness knows what the end will be

Oh, I don't know where I'm at

It looks as if we two will never be one

Something must be done

You say either and I say either

You say neither and I say neither

Either, either, neither, neither

Let's call the whole thing off

You like potato and I like potahto

You like tomato and I like tomahto

Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto

Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off then we must part

And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas

I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas

For we know we need each other

So we better call the calling off off

Let's call the whole thing off

You say laughter and I say laughter

You say after and I say after

Laughter, laughter , after, after

Let's call the whole thing off

You like vanilla and I like vanella

You saspiralla, and I saspirella

Vanilla, vanella, oh chocolate, strawberry

Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off then we must part

And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters

I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters

For we know we need each other

So we better call the calling off off

Let's call the whole thing off

You say either - and you say either

You say neither - and you say neither

Either, either, neither, neither

Let's call the whole thing off

You like potato - and you like potahto

You like tomato - and you like tomahto

Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto

Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off then we must part

And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you like pyjamas - I like pyjahmas

I'll wear pyjamas - you've got pyajahmas

For we know we need each other

So we better call the calling off off

Let's call the whole thing off

Let's call the whole thing off
