Ahmet Ertegun - They All Laughed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
All laughed at Rockefеller Center
Now, thеy'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
[Pre-Chorus]
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, hello, goodbye
But oh, you came through
Now, they're eating humble pie

[Chorus]
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?
