They All Laughed Lyrics & Chords By Sarah Vaughan

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 have 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 oh 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?
Hee, hee, hee, hee, let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha, who's got the last laugh now?
