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
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
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
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So if you like pajamas and I like pyjamas
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
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
Laughter, laughter; after, after
Let's call the whole thing off,
You like vanilla and I like vanilla
You like vanilla and I like vanilla
You sarsaparilla, and I sarsaparilla
Vanilla, vanilla, or chocolate, strawberry
Vanilla, vanilla, or chocolate, strawberry
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh if we call the whole thing off
But oh if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So if you go for oysters and I go for oysters
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
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
