They All Laughed (Shall We Dance?) Songtext
von Chet Baker

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


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 said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
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?
