Ginger Rogers - Ginger Rogers: I Won't Dance

They All Laughed

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?
