Delighted and laughed upon
The critics had their fun
But he don't mind
And will look different when he's doneA too controversial lie
And all the kids do understand
What he's about in this moderated landBut 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, yeah?Too old, too blind to see
The magic in this man
The jealous kind
Will never be a fanAnd he never doubted
In himself for what he can
For good and worse
He always stuck to his own planWho'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 outFine inspiration and a cure
For anyone who's been ignored
Only for them he'll take a bowBut 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?
