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 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 fightting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at fulton and his steam boat, hershey and his choc'late bar
Ford and his Lizzie kept 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
He - he - he, let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha, who's got the last laugh now
