They All Laughed - from Shall We Dance ? - Fred Astaire/Oscar Peterson
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
And 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 laughers busy
That's how people are
Why they laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be "Hello Goodbye "
But oh you came through
And 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
