What is the title of the song the Lost Boys sing while marching in Disney’s Peter Pan?

The Lost Boys sing “Following the Leader” while marching in Disney’s 1953 animated Peter Pan.

The song accompanies a playful marching sequence in which Peter Pan leads the Lost Boys through Neverland. Its repeated lyrics and call-and-response structure make it one of the film’s most recognizable group numbers. The title captures the boys’ habit of copying Peter and treating him as their leader.

“Following the Leader” is distinct from the film’s other major songs. “You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” accompanies the children’s flight from London, while “The Second Star to the Right” appears near the beginning of the film. The pirate song is commonly identified by the lyric “Yo ho,” but that is not the title of the Lost Boys’ marching song.

The music for Disney’s Peter Pan was written by Oliver Wallace, with songs by several contributors including Sammy Fain and Sammy Cahn. The soundtrack helped make the 1953 film one of Disney’s best-known animated interpretations of Barrie’s story.
