Words & Music by Bob Merrill Recorded by Patti Page, 1953 (#1)
Refrain:
C G7 How much is that doggie in the window,
C The one with the waggley tail?
G7 How much is that doggie in the window?
C I do hope that doggie's for sale.
C G7 I must take a trip to California
C And leave my poor sweetheart alone;
G7 If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome,
C And the doggie will have a good home.
Repeat Refrain:
I read in the paper there are robbers 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 walks.
