They All Laughed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the very same 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 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
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his (hic) cotton gin
They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey with his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie,
Kept the laughers busy
That's how folk are.
They laughed at me wantin' you
Said it would be, "Hello, goodbye."
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
Yeah, they all said we'd never get together
Baby, let's take a bow!
For …
Ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Ha, ha, ha!
Who belongs to that laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Who's got the last laugh?
Ho, ho, ho!
Ha, ha, ha!
Hee, hee, hee!
Ho, ho, ho!
The record's over!
Hee, hee …
