(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.



(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 Ev'ry Doughboy Knows What That Will Mean.

A Soldier Boy With Out A Heart

Has Two Strikes On Him From The Start

And My Heart's At The Stage Door Canteen.
