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
