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? |
