They All Laughed

They All Laughed_Chet Baker

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 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 never could be happy

They laughed at us and how

But ho ho ho

Who's got the last laugh now

They all said we never could be happy

They laughed at us and how

But ho ho ho

Who's got the last let

Hei hei hei

Let's some best to les

Ho ho ho

Who's got last laugh now
