Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off Songtext
von Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald

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, I say either
You say neither, and I say neither
Either, either, a neither, neither
Let′s call the whole thing off

Yes, 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 pajamas and I like pajamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
For we know we need each other
So we better call the calling off off
Oh, let′s call the whole thing off, yes

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 sasparilla, and I sasparella
Vanilla, vanella, oh, 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

Yes, you say either, and you say either
You say neither, and you say neither
Either, either, a neither, a neither
Let′s call the whole thing off, oh, yes

You like potato, and you like potatoe
You like tomato, and you 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

Oh, so if you like pajamas (I like pajamas)
I′ll wear pajamas (you got pajamas)
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, yes!
