Everythin's up-to-date in not-far-from-St.Louis

[Adam Blatner]

Thinking about all the changes electronically, inventionistically, progressinational, 
         I heard in my mind as background, the song from Oklahoma (1943): 
(I think this referred to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and Louisiana Purchase Exhibition)

    I got to Kansas City on a Frid'y, by Sattidy I larned a thing or two.
    'Coz up to then I didn't have an idy of whut the modren world was comin' to!
    I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by theirsel's, almost ev'ry time I tuk a walk.
    'Nen I put my ear to a Bell Telephone and a strange womern started in to talk!
   Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City: they've gone about as fur as they c'n go!
   They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high, about as high as a buildin' orta grow.
   Ev'rythin's like a dream in Kansas City, it's better than a magic lantern show!
   Y' c'n turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat.
   With ev'ry kind o' comfort ev'ry house is all complete.
   You c'n walk to privies in the rain and never wet your feet!
    They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!
