They All Laughed" is a song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, written for the 1937 film Shall We Dance where it was introduced by Ginger Rogers as part of a song and dance routine with Fred Astaire.Lyrics:The odds were a hundred to one against meThe world thought the heights were too high to climbBut people from Missouri never incensed meOh, I wasn't a bit concernedFor from hist'ry I had learnedHow many, many times the worm had turnedThey all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was roundThey all laughed when Edison recorded soundThey all laughed at Wilbur and his brother when they said that man could flyThey told Marconi wireless was a phony, it's the same old cryThey laughed at me wanting you, said I was reaching for the moonBut oh, you came through, now they'll have to change their tuneThey all said we never could be happy, they laughed at us and how!But ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh now
