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

'Cause 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 eyether

You say neether and I say nyther

Eether, eyether, neether, nyther

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 pajamas and I like pajahmas

I'll wear pajamas and give up pajahmas

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 lawfter

You say after and I say awfter

Laughter, lawfter, after, awfter

Let's call the whole thing off!

You like vanilla and I like vanella

You eat banana and I eat banahna

Vanilla, vanella, banana, banahna!

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 oysters and I like ersters

I'll take oysters and give up ersters

For we know we need each other

So we better call the calling off off!

Let's call the whole thing off!
