They All Laughed Songtext

von Antje Duvekot

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
Well they told Marconi wireless was a phony
Well 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'll 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?
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie kept the laughers busy
'Cause that's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye."
But oh, you came through, now they'll be eating humble pie
They all said we'd never get together
Well they laughed at us and now
But ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh?
Ho, ho, ho! Who's got the past laugh?
Ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh now?
