[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
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
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
|
And every 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
|
|
