Merrily we appear on the scene

Hostesses of the Stage Door Canteen

Entertaining soldiers who are going off to war

Glad to be of service but we could do much more



We could do more for the boys

And greatly add to their joys



But we don't get very far

The rules and regulations are

We mustn't be seen

Outside the Canteen

With a soldier



They each could do with a gal

Would greatly help their morale



But we simply must resist

We take an oath when we enlist

To never be found

Canoodling around

With a soldier
