They All Laughed
George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
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 is a phony
It's that 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?
Hee hee hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha ha ha!
Who's got the last laugh now?
