Foxtrot Mix (They All Laughed, The Continental) Midicorreo 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 They all said we'd never get together Darling, let's take a bow For ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh? It's something daring, the Continental A way of dancing that's really ultra new It's very subtle, the Continental Because it does what you want it to do It has a passion, the Continental An invitation to moonlight and romance It's quite the fashion, the Continental Because you tell of your love while you dance Your lips whisper so tenderly His eyes answer your song Two bodies swaying, the Continental, And you are saying just what you're thinking of So, keep on dancing the Continental For it's a song of romance and of love You kiss while you're dancing You sing while you're dancing You'll know before the dance is through That you're in love with him and he's in love with you You'll find while you're dancing That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul, A certain rhythm that you can't control And you will do the Continental all the time
