How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?    Bob Merrill
How much is that doggie in the window?The one with the waggly tail.How much is that doggie in the window?I do hope that doggie's for sale.
I must take a trip to California,And leave my poor sweetheart alone.If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome, And the doggie will have a good home.
How much is that doggie in the window?The one with the waggly tail.How much is that doggie in the window?I do hope that doggie's for sale.
I read in the papers, there are robbersWith flashlights that shine in the dark.My love needs a doggie to protect himAnd scare them away with one bark.
I don't want a rabbit or a kitten, I don't want a parrot that talks.I don't want a bowl of little fishes, You can't take a fish for a walk.
