They All Laughed (Album Version)

Ho ho ho ha ha ha hee hee hee

You think the last for me

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 phoney

It's the same old try

They laughed me at 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 would be happy

Darling let's take a bow

But ho ho ho

Who's got the last laugh now

The odds were a hundred to one against me

The world thought the heights were too high to climb

But people from Missouri never incensed me

Oh I wasn't a bit concerned

For from history I had learned

How many many times the world had turned

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 at Fulton and his steamboat

Hershey and his chocolate bar

Ford and his Lizzie

Kept the laughers busy

That's how people are

They laughed at me wanting you

Said it would be Hello Goodbye

But oh you came through

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

I got the last laugh

Who's got the last laugh now
