History
"(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?" is a popular novelty song written by Bob Merrill in 1952. The best-known version of the song was recorded by Patti Page on December 18, 1952. The song's lyrics tell the story of a young woman who has to go on a trip to California, and wants to buy a dog for her "sweetheart" so that he will not be lonely, and so that any robbers will be scared away.
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!) The one with the waggley tail How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!) 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? (arf! arf!) The one with the waggley tail How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!) I do hope that doggie's for sale I read in the paper there are robbers (roof! roof!) With flashlights that shine in the dark My love needs a doggie to protect him And scare them away with one bark I don't want a bunny or a kitty I don't want a parrot that talks I don't want a bowl of little fishies He can't take a goldfish for a walk How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!) The one with the waggley tail How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!) I do hope that doggie's for sale I do hope that doggie's for sale __________________________________ Note: Arf! Arf! sounds like a small dog. Roof! Roof! sounds like a bigger dog.
