Let's Call The Whole Thing Off Songtext
von Fred Astaire

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:

- 1
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 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 pyjamas and I like
Pyjahmas, I'll wear pyjamas and give up
Pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we, Better call the whole off off
Let′s call the whole thing off.

- 2
You say laughter and I say larfter, You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter, Let′s call the whole thing off,

You like vanilla and I like vanella, You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry, Let's call the whole thing off

But oh if we call the whole thing of 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.
Let′s call the whole thing off.
