Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off
You say potayto, I say potahto
You say patatah and I say patahta
Potato
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 would 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
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 like potato's and I like potatoe's
You like tomato and I like tomatoe
Potato, potatoe, tomato, tomatoe
Why don't we call the whole thing off
You like banahnas, and I like banarnas
You like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas
Banahnas, banarnas, pyjamas, pyjahmas
Why don't we call the whole thing off
If you go for oysters and I go for ersters
I'll order oysters and give up the ersters
For we know we
Need each other, so we
Better call the calling-off off
Let's call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off
