They All Laughed

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
Yeah
They all laughed at Wilbur and his
Brother when they said that man could fly
They told Marconi wireless was a phony
Ha
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you, said I was reaching for the moon
But, oh, you came through, now they have to change their tune
They all said we'd never get together
They laughed at us and how
But, ho, ho, ho, who's got the last laugh now?
Sing it, baby
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get it
Ba, bop, shoo, doo, doo, doo
They all laughed at Whitney and his cartoon, too
They all laughed at Fulton and his
Steamboat, Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie kept those laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you, said it would be hello, goodbye
But, oh, you came through, now they're eating on their humble pie
They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
But, ho, ho, ho, who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, who's got the last laugh now?
I do
