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, wireless was a phony It's the same old cry They laughed at me wanting you Said I was reaching for the moon But all 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" But all you came through Now they're eating humble pie They all said we'd never get together Darling, 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
