| Lyrics: | 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 at 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?"; |
