lyrics

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's plain to see we two will never make 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 potato,
You like tomato and I like tomato;
Potato, potato, tomato, tomato!
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 pajamas,
We'll wear pajamas and take off our pajamas
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 laughter,
You say after and I say after;
Laughter, laughter, after, after,
Let's call the whole thing off!
You like Havanah, and I like Havanah
You like banana, and I like banana
Havanah, Havanah, banana, banana
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 oysters
I'll order oysters and cancel my oysters.
For we know we need each other,
So we better call the calling off off!
Let's call the whole thing off!
