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 history I had learned
How many, many times
The world 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 theylll 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
Ilnstrumentall
They all laughed
At Rockefeller Center

Now thefre 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 heIIo-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
