They All Laughed 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 wasnt a bit concerned

For from histry 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

Its the same old cry

They laughed at me wanting you

Said I was reaching for the moon

But oh, you came through

Now theyll have to change their tune

They all said we never could be happy

They laughed at us and how!

But ho, ho, ho!

Whos got the last laugh now?

They all laughed at rockefeller center

Now theyre 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

Thats how people are

They laughed at me wanting you

Said it would be, "hello, goodbye."

But oh, you came through

Now theyre eating humble pie

They all said wed never get together

Darling, lets take a bow

For ho, ho, ho!

Whos got the last laugh?

Hee, hee, hee!

Lets at the past laugh

Ha, ha, ha!

Whos got the last laugh now? "
