I googled "Nancy With The Laughing Face" and this was the first item:

Nancy (With the Laughing Face)
Words & Music by Phil Silvers & Jimmy Van Heusen
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1944


Cdim    Em7                  A9
If I don't see her each day, I miss her;

D                            C#m Fm
Gee what a thrill each time I kiss her.

Em                   C#m7-5 F#7 Bm   Bm7       E7      Em7    A7      
Believe me, I've got a case on Nancy with the laughing face.


    Cdim      Em7                  A9
She takes the winter and makes it summer;

D                      C#m    Fm
Summer could take some lessons from her.

Em                  C#m7-5 F#7   Bm             Gm       D   F7
Picture a tomboy in lace — that's Nancy with the laughing face.


Bridge 1:

       C#m                      Bm+7
Do you ever hear mission bells ringing?

             Bm7                     E9    E7-5
Well, she'll give you the very same glow;

Gm         D                            Em7    A7
When she speaks you would think it was singing;

    Bm   Bm7 E7      Em7   A7
Just hear her say, "Hello."


Cdim      Em7                   A9
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her;

D                  C#m    Fm
Sorry for you, she has no sister.

Em                  C#m7-5 F#7 Bm             Gm       D    F7
No one could ever replace my Nancy with the laughing face.


Bridge 2:

       C#m                     Bm+7
What a wonderful treat to come home to,

         Bm7                      E9    E7-5
When the long day has drawn to a close;

Gm         D                      Em7      A7
There's the patter of feet to come home to,

    Bm   Bm7 E7      Em7   A7
And Nan - cy gave me those.


Cdim       Em7             A9
Keep Betty Grable, Lamour and Turner;
D                   C#m      Fm
She makes my heart a charcoal burner.
Em                C#m7-5 F#7 Bm             Gdim    D    G6 D6
No one could ever replace my Nancy with the laughing face.
