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

Looks who´s laughing now.
