The odds were a hundred to one against meThe world thought the heights were too high to climbBut people from Missouri never incensed meOh, I wasn't a bit concernedFor from hist'ry I had learnedHow many, many times the worm had turnedThey all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was roundThey all laughed when Edison recorded soundThey all laughed at Wilbur and his brother when they said that man could flyThey told Marconi wireless was a phony, it's the same old cryThey laughed at me wanting you, said I was reaching for the moonBut oh, you came through, now they'll have to change their tuneThey 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 inThey all laughed at Whitney and his cotton ginThey all laughed Fulton and his steamboat, Hershey and his chocolate barFord and his Lizzie, kept the laughers busy, that's how people areThey laughed at me wanting you, said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye."But oh, you came through, now they're eating humble pieThey all said we'd never get together, darling, let's take a bowFor 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? From Letras Mania
