They All Laughed

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus

When he said "The world was round"

They all laughed when Edison recorded sound

They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother

When they said "Man could fly"

They told Marconi that wireless was a phony

It's the same old cry

They laughed at me wanting you

Said I was reaching for the moon

Oh, you came through

Now they'll have to change their tune

They all said we never could be happy

They laughed at us and how!

Ho, ho, ho!

Who's got the last laugh now?

They all laughed at Rockefeller Center

And now they're fighting to get in

They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin

They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat

Hershey and his chocolate bar

Ford and his Lizzie, he kept the laughers busy

That's how people are

They laughed at me wanting you

Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye"

Oh, you came through

Now they're eating humble pie

They all said we'd never get together

Darling, let's take a bow

Ho, ho, ho!

Who's got the last laugh?

Hee, hee, hee!

Let's at the past laugh

Ha, ha, ha!

Who's got the last laugh now?
