The lark of the west, Burgoyne of Pittsburgh, sang a song of jubilee:
| Greater Pittsburgh |
| (From the Pittsburgh Leader, February 8, 1906.) |
| Sing out, ye mighty bands of brass. |
| Let drums and trumpets blithely sound |
| A strain of praise! Let glass with glass |
| Be clinked! Aye, and for miles around |
| Let all true men like joy display! |
| The Greater Town comes now to stay. |
| Yes, after all the weary years |
| Of battling; after all the jars |
| Sustained by gallant pioneers |
| Of progress, they've let down the bars |
| At last and given us a show |
| All rival cities to outgrow. |
| Old Allegheny, which is sunk |
| In torpor, now must needs awake. |
| No more can she hang back and flunk |
| And odious ease and leisure take. |
| She's part of us henceforth and must |
| Play ball and raise her share of dust. |
| Our mayor will henceforth exercise |
| A broad and mighty rulership. |
| A giant town he'll supervise; |
| A town that's destined to outstrip |
| Its peers whenever he controls |
| A solid half a million souls. |
