Old, old problem which Ella probably answered best:
Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
Ella Fitzgerald
Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing pinch flat
For you like Sugino and Sakae
While I go for Sakae and Sugino
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 fixie and I say shifters
You say tan sidewalls and I say black side walls
fixie, Tan side walls, shifter, Black side walls
Let's call the whole thing off
You like Shimano and I like Campagnolo
You like bar ends and I like down tubes
Shimano, bar ends, Campagnolo, down tubes
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 3 speed english and I like single coasters
I'll ride 3 speed english and give up single coaster
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off
You say Reynolds and I say Tange
You say Bianchi and I say Nishiki
Reynolds, Tange, Bianchi, Nishiki
Let's call the whole thing off
You like Cloth Tape and I like Leather Tape
You like Silca, and I like Zefal
Cinelli, Superbe, San Marco , Fujita
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 Paramount and I go for West Coast Flyer
I'll order Paramount and cancel the West Coast Flyer
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off
Let's call the whole thing off
I say tubular, and you say clincher
I say single pivot and you say dual pivot
tubular, clincher, schrader, presta
Let's call the whole thing off
I like Fuji and you like Tommasini
I say freewheel and I get cassette
Fuji, Tommasini, freewheel, cassette
Go your way, I'll go mine
So if I go for water pipe frame and you go for triple butted
So, all right, no contest, we'll order triple butted
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
