Intro
- 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
1st verse
- 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
- Why, they told Marconi wireless was a phoney — it's the same old cry
- Why they laughed at me, wanting you — said I was reaching for the moon
- But oh, you came through — and now they'll have to change their tune
- They all said we'd never get together — they laughed at us and how
- For oh, ho, ho — Who's got the last laugh now?
2nd verse
- 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 laughters busy — that's how people are
- Why they laughed at me, wanting you — said it would be "Hello — Goodbye"
- But oh, you came through — and now they're eating humble pie
- They all said we'd never get together — darling, let's take a bow
- For oh, ho, ho, Who's got the last laugh —
- Hee, hee, hee, Let's have the last laugh —
- Ha, ha, ha, Who's got the last laugh now?
