They Can't Take That Away From Me: Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
You say potato
I say potato
You say potato and I say potato
Potato
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 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
Then we must part
And oh, if we have to part
Then that would break my heart
So, if you like pyjamas and I like pyjamas
I'll wear pyjamas 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
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 like potatoes and I like potatoes
You like tomatoes, I like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
Why don't we call the whole thing off
You like bananas, and I like bananas
You like pyjamas, I like pyjamas
Bananas, bananas, pyjamas, pyjamas
Why don't we call the whole thing off
If you go for oysters and I go for oysters
I'll order oysters and give up the oysters
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
Let's call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off
I say potato
You say potato and I say potato
Potato
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 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
Then we must part
And oh, if we have to part
Then that would break my heart
So, if you like pyjamas and I like pyjamas
I'll wear pyjamas 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
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 like potatoes and I like potatoes
You like tomatoes, I like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
Why don't we call the whole thing off
You like bananas, and I like bananas
You like pyjamas, I like pyjamas
Bananas, bananas, pyjamas, pyjamas
Why don't we call the whole thing off
If you go for oysters and I go for oysters
I'll order oysters and give up the oysters
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
Let's call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off
