| 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.
|
| (refrain)
|
| You say eether 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, sa’s’parilla and I sa’s’parella;
|
| Vanilla, vanella, Choc’late, strawb’ry!
|
| 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! |
