George Gershwin

George Gershwin - They All Laughed songtekst

Je score:

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 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."

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? 

He, hee, hee!

Let's at the past laugh

Ha, ha, ha!

Who's got the last laugh now? "
