Let's Call the Whole Thing Off

Taí uma das minhas favoritas:




Let's Call The Whole Thing Off


(George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin)
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
(do álbum Ella and Louis Again, 1957 more info)

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 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 potato
You like tomato and I like tomato
Potato, potato; tomato, tomato
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 pyjamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pyjamas
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off
Let's call the whole thing off

You say
laughter and I say laughter
You say after and I say after
Laughter, laughter; after, after
Let's call the whole thing off,

You like
vanilla and I like vanilla
You sarsaparilla, and I sarsaparilla
Vanilla, vanilla, or 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 oysters
I'll order oysters and cancel the oysters
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off
