They All Laughed Lyrics


Fred Astaire They All Laughed


The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned
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 Fulton and his steamboat, Hershey and
his
chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie, kept the 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?
Hee, hee, hee! Let's at the past laugh, Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got
the last laugh now?
