They All Laughed - Chris Connor

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 hist'ry 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
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 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 at the past laugh
Ha
Ha
Ha
Who's got the last laugh now
