The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world
thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh,
I wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had
turned
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 never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's
got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting
to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed Fulton and his
steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie
Kept the laughers
busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "Hello,
Goodbye."
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
They all said
we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last
laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got the last
laugh now | | | |
