They All Laughed - Chris Connor

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 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 laughters 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

Hee hee hee

Let's at the past laugh

Ha ha ha

Who's got the last laugh now
