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
lt'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 all laughed
At Rockefeller Center
Now they're 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 hello-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
For ho ho ho
Who's got the last laugh
Hee hee hee
Let's have the best laugh
Ha ha ha
Who's got the last laugh now
