Delighted and laughed upon The critics had their fun But he don't mind And will look different when hes done
A too controversial lie And all the kids do understand What he's about in this moderated land
But who's laughing now And who's looking blank Yeah who's laughing now All the way to the bank Who's laughing now And who went up in rank Yeah who's laughing now All the way to the bank
Too old, too blind to see The magic in this man The jealous kind Will never be a fan
And he never doubted In himself for what he can For good and worse He always stuck to his own plan
But who's laughing now And who's looking blank Yeah who's laughing now All the way to the bank Who's laughing now And who went up in rank Yeah who's laughing now All the way to the bank
He's always been against the grain I give him credit for staying sane It takes a lot to go that route He fought his own way out
Fine inspiration and a cure For anyone who's been ignored Only for them he'll take a bow
But who's laughing now And who's looking blank Yeah who's laughing now All the way to the bank Who's laughing now And who went up in rank Yeah who's laughing now All the way to the bank
