They All Laughed Lyrics
They All Laughed - Fred Astaire/Pete King
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 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 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
Let's at the past laugh
Who's got the last laugh now
