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 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
