They All Laughed

Lyrics

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 that man could fly
 Why they told Marconi wireless was a phony
 It's the same old cry
 They laughed at me wanting you
 Said I was reaching for the moon
 But, oh, you came through
 And now they'll have to change their tune
 They all said we never could be happy
 They laughed at us and how
 But 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, kept the laughters busy
 That's how people are
 Why they laughed at me wanting you
 Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye"
 But, oh, you came through
 And now they're eating humble pie
 They all said we'd never get together
 Darling, let's take a bow, for 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?
