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....
Refrain
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 WITHOUT A HEART
HAS TWO STRIKES ON HIM FROM THE START,
AND MY HEART'S AT THE STAGE DOOR CANTEEN.
(Repeat Refrain)
"This Is The Army"
I LEFT MY HEART AT THE
STAGE DOOR CANTEEN
