George Gershwin
They All Laughed
[Verse 1: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga & Both]
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, man could fly
They told Marconi wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
[Pre-Chorus: Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga]
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
[Chorus: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga & Both]
They all said we never could happy
They laughed at us and how
Ho, ho, ho
Who's got the last laugh now?
[Verse 2: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga & Both]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga]
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be hello-goodbye
But, oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
[Chorus: Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga & Both]
They all said we'd never get together
Darling, take a bow
Ho, ho, ho
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee
Let's have the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha
Who's got the last laugh now?
Ha-ha
