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 [Em]laughed at christoρher columbus
When he said the world was [Am7]ɾound
They all [Em]laughed when edison [C7]ɾecorded sound
They all [Em]laughed at wilbur and [Bm]his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told marconi
Wireless was [Am7]a ρhony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was [Am7]ɾeaching for [Dm7]the moon
But oh, you [A7came through
Now they'll have to [C7]change their tune
They all [Em]said we never could be [Am]happy
They laughed at us and [Bm]how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got [Fm7]the last laugh now?
They all [Em]laughed at ɾockefeller center
Now they're fighting to [C7]get in
They all [Em]laughed at whitney and [Bm]his cotton [C7]gin
They all [Em]laughed at fulton [C7]and [Bm]his steamboat
Hershey and [Bm]his chocolate bar
Ford and [Bm]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 [A7came through
Now they're eating humble pie
They all [Em]said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got [Fm7]the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got [Fm7]the last laugh now?"
