I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen

I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen
music & lyric by Irving Berlin

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---
End ev'ry 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...
