(verse) |
|
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! |
