THEY ALL LAUGHED

(BAR)-George & Ira Gershwin

Verse:

The odds were a hundred to one a-gainst me

The world thought the heights were too high to climb

But people from Mis-souri never in-censed me,

oh, I wasn't a bit con-cerned

For from history I had learned

how many, many times the worm

had

turned

They all laughed at Christopher Col-umbus when he said the world was round

They all laughed at Rockefeller Center,

now they're fighting to get

They all laughed when Edison

re-corded sound

They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin

They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother

when they said that man could fly

They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat, Hershey and his chocolate

bar

They told Marconi wireless was a phony, it's the same old cry

Ford and his Lizzie,

kept the laughers busy that's how people are
