They All Laughed Lyrics - Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin - Willie Nelson

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 at 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." 

And 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?
