A friend is looking for a song of the 30s-40s, maybe Cole Porter or suchlike, with a line something like "I'm making breakfast for the one I love". Any ideas??

Does anyone have the words to this old song? I don't know the title. It begins "I'll hang my harp on a willow tree, and off to the wars again. This peaceful life hath no charms for me, the battlefield no pain."

Here's an old, old unanswered request.
It's actually "Cooking Breakfast for the One I Love," by Billy Rose and Henry Tobias, written for the picture 'Be Yourself' starring Fanny Brice. Recorded by Maria Muldaur, and it's also on "Nipper's Greatest Hits form the 1930's." Also recorded by Kaye Ballard. Haven't found the lyrics yet, but I'm hot on the trail.
