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 thats, me.

Just as forgetful as I can be.

Ive got the strangest sort of a mind.

Im 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 evry doughboy knows what that will mean.

A soldier boy with out a heart

Has two strikes on him from the start

And my hearts at the stage door canteen.
