The song “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” was written by George and Ira Gershwins for the 1937 film Shall We Dance? Its verses show the differences between English dialects. In the 1930s, the difference was not just regional but also social, and the song shows how the two characters want to be close...
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 say tomato, I say tomato
You eat potato and I eat potato
Tomato, tomato, potato, potato
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 wear pajamas and I wear pajamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
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 after and I say after
You say laughter and I say laughter
After, after, laughter, laughter
Let's call the whole thing off
You say Havana and I say Havana
You eat banana and I eat banana
Havana, havana, banana, banana
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 say oysters and I say oysters
I'll eat oysters and give up oysters
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off, off
Oh, let's call the whole thing off
