Lyrics

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, neither, neither Let's call the whole thing off, yes You like potato and I like potato You like tomato and I like tomato 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 calling off, off Oh, let's call the whole thing off, yes 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 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 potahto You like tomato and you 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 (I like pyjahmas) I'll wear pyjamas (you got pyjamas) 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)
