Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

Harry Connick Jr. · Other Songs - Harry Connick Jr.

You say "either" and I say "either"

You say "neither" I say "neither"

"Either" "either", "neither" "neither"

Let's call the whole thing off

You say "potato" I say "patattah"

You say "tomato" I say "creole tomatah"

Let's call the whole thing off

Oh, if we call the whole thing off

Then we must part and

Oh, if we ever part

That would break my heart

I say "ursta" you say "oyster"

I'm not gonna stop eatin urstas

Just cause you say oysters,

Let's call the whole thing off

I say "pajamas" you say "pajamas"

Sugar, what's the problem?

For we know we need each other so

We'd better call the calling off off

Oh let's call it off, oh let's call it off

Oh let's call it off, baby let's call it off

Sugar why don't we call it off,

I'm talking baby why call it off

Let's call the whole thing off
