1
The odds were a hundred to one against me
2
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
3
But people from Missouri never incensed me
4
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
5
For from history I had learned
6
How many, many times the worm had turned
7
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
8
When he said the world was round
9
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
10
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
11
When they said that man could fly
12
They told Marconi
13
Wireless was a phony
14
It's the same old cry
15
They laughed at me wanting you
16
Said I was reaching for the moon
17
But, oh, you came through
18
Now they'll have to change their tune
19
They all said we never could be happy
20
They laughed at us and how
21
But ho, ho, ho
22
Who's got the last laugh now?
23
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
24
Now they're fighting to get in
25
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
26
They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat
27
Hershey and his chocolate bar
28
Ford and his Lizzie
29
Kept the laughers busy
30
That's how people are
31
They laughed at me wanting you
32
Said it would be, "Hello, goodbye"
33
But, oh, you came through
34
Now they're eating humble pie
35
They all said we'd never get together
36
Darling, let's take a bow
37
For ho, ho, ho
38
Who's got the last laugh?
39
Hee, hee, hee
40
Let's at the past laugh
41
Ha, ha, ha
42
Who's got the last laugh now?
