I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen
Charlie Spivak
Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
From This Is The Army

(Verse)
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.

(Chorus)
I left my heart at the stage door canteen.
I left it there with a girl named Eileen.
I kept her serving doughnuts ‘til all she had were gone.
I sat there dunking doughnuts ‘til she caught on.
I must go back to the Army routine.
And ev’ry doughboy knows what that will mean.
A soldier boy with out a heart
Has two strikes on him from the start
And my heart’s at the stage door canteen.
