[Preamble: Louis Armstrong]
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
Far from history I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned, (scat)
[Verse 1: Louis Armstrong]
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed
When Edison recorded sound
[Verse 2: Louis Armstrong]
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
[Bridge 1: Louis Armstrong]
They laughed at me wantin' you
Said, I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune, yes
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
Far from history I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned, (scat)
[Verse 1: Louis Armstrong]
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed
When Edison recorded sound
[Verse 2: Louis Armstrong]
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
[Bridge 1: Louis Armstrong]
They laughed at me wantin' you
Said, I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune, yes
