Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong "Let's call the whole thing off"

"Let's call the whole thing off"

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 of.

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 thing 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 say vanella,
you saspiralla, and I saspirella,
vanilla, vanella,
chocolate strawberry.
Let's call the whole thing of.

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
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
we better call the calling off off,
let's call the whole thing off.
