nd meets all the situations of that life.

Songs are generally composed by the individual or by groups, being the
expression of their feelings, or results of their experience in camp.
The songs are quickly adopted by the camp as a whole because people like
to sing their own songs, especially songs about fresh, actual
happenings.

Some of the songs which reflect universal experience live on through the
years and become traditional, while others drop out and are never heard
of again. The following are Girl Scout Songs that have weathered more or
less satisfactorily.

THE VICTORY GIRLS

(_Tune_: "K-K-Katy")

G-G-G-Girl Scouts!
You Victory Girl Scouts!
You're the only Victory Girls that get our votes.
And when you march by,
Under your troop flags,
We'll be cheering for your K-K-K-Khaki coats!

MARCHING SONG

(_Tune_: "Where Do We Go from Here, Boys?")

Where do we go from here, girls, where do we go from here?
Anywhere (our Captain[B]) leads we'll follow, never fear.
The world is full of dandy girls, but wait till we appear--Then!
Girl Scouts, Girl Scouts, give us a hearty cheer!

[B] Supply Captain's name.

WE'RE COMING!

(_Tune_: "Old Black Joe")

Camping Song

I.

Come where the lake lies gleaming in the sun,
Come where the days are filled with work and fun,
Come where the moon hangs out her evening lamp,
The Scouts are trooping, trooping, trooping, back to Camp.

CHORUS:

We're coming! We're coming! to the lakes, the hills, the sea.
Old Mother Nature calls her children--you and me!

II.

Come where we learn the wisdom of the wood,
Come where we prove that simple things are good,
Come where we pledge allegiance to our land,
America! you've called your daughters--here we stand.

CHORUS:

We're coming! We're coming, till we spread from sea to sea,
Our country needs us--wants us--calls us--you and me!

RALLY SONG

(_Tune_: "Smiles")

There are girls that make you gloomy,
There are girls that make you gay,
There are girls forever hanging backward,
There are girls who like to lead the way,
But that girl that's always at "attention!"
That her Country cannot do without,
That we know the world can always count on--
She is my girl--the good Girl Scout.
