They All Laughed Songtext
von Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald

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

Babadozii...


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
Yess.
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?
They laughed at me wanting you, said it would be, Hello, Goodbye
But oh, you came through, now they're eating humble pie
