(from "Shall We Dance") |
|
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 had learned |
|
How many, many times the world 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 phoney. |
|
It's the same old try. |
|
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 would be happy. |
|
Darling, let's take a bow. |
|
But ho, ho, ho. |
|
Who's got the last laugh now? |
