They All Laughed

The odds where a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were to high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from history 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 men 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 laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be hello, goodbye
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating from [?]

They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a vow
But ho, ho, ho!

They all laughed but,
Who's got the last laugh now?
