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

Whole off off

Let's call the whole thing off

You say laughter and I say larfter, You say after and

I say arfter

Laughter, larfter after arfter, Let's call the whole

Thing off

You like vanilla and I like vanella, You saspiralla

And I saspirella

Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry, Let's call the

Whole thing off

But oh if we call the whole thing of 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

I say father, and you say pater, I saw mother and you

Say mater

Pater, mater Uncle, auntie, let's call the whole thing

Off

I like bananas and you like banahnahs, I say Havana

And I get Havahnah

Bananas, banahnahs Havana, Havahnah, Go your way, I'll

Go mine

So if I go for scallops and you go for lobsters, So

All right no contest we'll

Order lobseter

For we know we need each other so we, Better call the

Calling off off

Let's call the whole thing off
