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 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
