An old WAC songbook of Aunt Marian’s was one piece of memorabilia that I found. Some of the songs were traditional patriotic songs like the Star Spangled Banner and America, the Beautiful. Others were fun songs like The K.P.’s Are Scrubbing Away (WAC Version):

I had the original song about the caissons playing in my mind as soon as I saw the title. They were clever with that one. The lyrics are great, and it had to lighten the day a bit to have somethng so funny and relevant to sing.

Sheryl, whistling or singing in a group while you work, is a great way to pass the time and make the work go by eaiser! ❤

Your absolutely right. I once read a really wonderful article about the role that songs can play in helping form a group identity.

How fun! It’s interesting, though, isn’t it, how songbooks like this seem to be such a thing of the past. Does anyone sing anymore?

Interesting question. . . I never thought about it before. My first thought was that people still sing, but maybe we all have our own iPods now and are humming to different songs. I actually can’t remember singing a song in a group outside of church since I sat around a camp fire with my daughter’s girl scout troop years ago.

It is a wonderful book. And, songs provide so many clues as to what an organization is like and what it’s members value.

It reminds me of a Weird Al Yankovic parody of a song.
