Let's Call the Whole Thing Off Lyrics

(Performed by Matthew Broderick (Jimmy), Kelli O'Hara (Billie), and Stanley Wayne Mathis)


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

She says laughter and you say laughter
You say after and he says aufter
Laughter, laughter
After aufter
Let's call the whole thing off.

I like vanilla and you like vanella
You sarsaparilla, and I sarsaparella
Vanilla, vanella
Chocolate strawberry
Let's call the whole thing off.

But oh if you call the whole thing off then you must part
And oh, if you 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 you know you need each other so you
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.
