George Gershwin
Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off
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
