Let´S Call the Whole Thing Off - Sarah Vaughan, Джордж Гершвин

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 eyether

You say neither and I say nyther;

Either, eyether, neither, nyther

Let’s call the whole thing off!

You like potato and I like potatoe

You like tomato and I like tomatoe;

Potato, potatoe, tomato, tomatoe!

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 pyjamas and I like pyjahmas

I’ll wear pyjamas and give up pyjahmas

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 lawfter

You say after and I say awfter;

Laughter, lawfter, after, awfter

Let’s call the whole thing off!

You like vanilla and I like vanella

You, say s’parilla and I say s’parella;

Vanilla, vanella, 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 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!
