They All Laughed

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 history I have 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 oh 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? Hee, hee, hee, hee, let's at the past laugh Ha, ha, ha, who's got the last laugh now?
