I Left My Heart At the Stage Door Canteen (feat. Corporal Earl Oxford)

I Left My Heart At the Stage Door Canteen - Original "This is the Army" All-Soldier Chorus/Corporal Earl Oxford

Old Mr 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 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

My heart's at the stage door canteen
