Let's call the whole thing off.

You say either and I say neither
You say neither and I say either;
Either, neither, Neither, either
Let’s call the whole thing off!

You want to wear pants

I want to wear slackes

You want to wear shirts

I want to wear blouses

Pants? Slackes? Shirts? Blouses?

Let’s call the whole thing off

You want miniskirt

with long leather boots

I want a dress

With high heel shoes

Miniskirt? Leather Boots? Dress? High heel Shoes?

Let’s call the whole thing off.

You like lipsticks

I like eyeshades

I dont like lipsticks

You dont like eyeshade

What I like you dont like

What you like I dont like

Let’s call the whole thing off.

We better off,

Calling all off.

Just Call The Whole Thing Off.

I’m old enough to remember the original version – Fred Astaire if the brain cell are still intact – But I like yours, too.

I’m not quite old enough to remember the song, but thanks to Bettylou’s clue, I found a clip of the dance routine on YouTube. Your lyrics mesh closely with the original. And for the CDH audience, a clever adaptation it is! Although not singing as they danced, watching Fred and Ginger perform their routine on roller skates brought a smile to my face.

But let’s not call anything off just yet! I’m hoping to dress ‘til I drop!
