I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen (From "This Is The Army")

i left my heart at the stage door canteen - earl oxford

old mister absent-minded

that's me

just as forgetful

as i can be

i've got the strangest

sort of a mind

i'm always leaving

something behind

i left my heart

at the stage

door canteen

i left it there with

a girl named eileen

i kept her serving

doughnuts

till all she had were gone

i sat there

dunking doughnuts

till she caught on

i must go back to

the army routine

and every doughboy knows

what that will mean

a soldier boy

without a heart

has two strikes on

him from the start

and my heart's

at the stage

door canteen

i must go back to

the army routine

and every doughboy knows

what that will mean

a soldier boy without a heart

has two strikes on

him from the start

and my heart's at the stage

door canteen

my heart's at the stage

door canteen
