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
Far from history I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turnedThey 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 flyThey told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cryThey laughed at me wantin' you
Said, I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune, yesThey all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how
But ho, ho, ho
Who's got the last laugh nowThey 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 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 bow
For ho, ho, ho
Who's got the last laugh nowThey 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 bow
For ho, ho, ho
Who's got the last laughHee, hee, hee
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha
Who's got the last laugh now
