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.

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 laughers busy. That's how people are. They laughed at me wanting you. Said, it would be, hello, goodbye. But oh, you came through.
