I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteencs

Charlie Spivak

(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.
