Let's call the whole thing off!

George & Ira Gershwin

Audio & Video

Coming soon...

Lyrics

Vertical Divider
 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’s plain to see we two will never make one
Something must be done
  
You say “eeether,” I say “ei-ther”
You say “neeether” and I say “nei-ther”
“eeether,” “ei-ther,” “neeether,” “nei-ther”
Let's call the whole thing off!
 
You like “po-ta-to” and I like “po-tah-to”
You like “to-ma-to” and I like “to-mah-to”
“po-ta-to,” “po-tah-to,” “to-ma-to,” “to-mah-to”
Oh, 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 “py-ja-mas” and I like “py-jah-mas”
I'll wear “py-ja-mas” and give up “py-jah-mas”
For we know, we need each other
So we better call the calling off, off
Oh, let's call the whole thing off!
 
You say “laugh-ter” and I say “larf-ter”
You say “af-ter” and I say “arf-ter”
“laugh-ter,” “larf-ter,” “af-ter,” “arf-ter”
Let's call the whole thing off!
 
You like “Ha-va-na” and I like “Ha-vah-nah”
You eat “Ba-na-na” and I eat “ba-nah-nah”
“Ha-va-na,” “Ha-vah-nah,” “Ba-na-na,” “ba-nah-nah”
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, you like “oy-sters” and I like “er-sters”
I'll take “oy-sters” and give up “er-sters”
For we know, we need each other
So we better call the calling off, off
Oh, let's call the whole thing off!
