| 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 eyether
|
| You say neither and I say nyther;
|
| Either, eyether, neither, nyther
|
| Let’s call the whole thing off!
|
| You like potato and I like potatoe
|
| You like tomato and I like tomatoe;
|
| Potato, potatoe, tomato, tomatoe!
|
| 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 pyjahmas
|
| 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, say s’parilla and I say s’parella;
|
| Vanilla, vanella, chocolate, strawberry!
|
| 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! |
