Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off Lyrics (歌词)

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:

Chorus - 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.

Chorus - 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.

Chorus - 3

I say father, and you say pater, I saw mother and you say mater Pater, mater Uncle, auntie, let's call the whole thing off.

I like bananas and you like banahnahs, I say Havana and I get Havahnah

Bananas, banahnahs Havana, Havahnah, Go your way, I'll go mine

So if I go for scallops and you go for lobsters, So all right no contest we'll

order lobseter

For we know we need each other so we, Better call the calling off off,

Let's call the whole thing off.
