Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Lyrics

Things have come to a pretty pass
Our relationship has reached a difficult situation

Our romance is growing flat
Our love is losing its spark

For you like this and the other, While I go for this and that
We have different preferences and interests

Goodness knows what the end will be, Oh I don't know where I'm at
I'm uncertain about the future of our relationship

It looks as if we two will never be one, Something must be done
We seem to be unable to come to an agreement or compromise

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
Our different accents and pronunciations are causing misunderstandings and disagreements

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
Our different accents and pronunciations are causing misunderstandings and disagreements

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
If we give up on our relationship, it will be painful and heartbreaking

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 thing off, Let's call the whole thing off
We need to find a way to compromise and make our relationship work, even if it means giving up something we like

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
Our different accents and pronunciations are causing misunderstandings and disagreements

You like vanilla and I like vanella, You saspiralla, and I saspirella, Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry, Let's call the whole thing off
Our different preferences and interests are causing disagreements

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
We need to find a way to compromise and make our relationship work, even if it means giving up something we like

You say either (and you say either), You say neither (and you say neither), Either, (either), neither (neither), Let's call the whole thing off
Our different accents and pronunciations are causing misunderstandings and disagreements

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
Our different accents and pronunciations are causing misunderstandings and disagreements

So if you like pyjamas (pyjahmas), I'll wear pyjamas (you got pyajahmas), For we know we need each other so we, Better call the calling off off, Let's call the whole thing off
We need to find a way to compromise and make our relationship work, even if it means giving up something we like

Let's call the whole thing off
We need to find a way to work through our differences and make our relationship work
