I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen

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
