Lyrics to doggie in the window

Patti Page Lyrics

"The Doggie In The Window"

How much is that doggie in the window? (Arf, arf)
The one with the waggly 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 waggly 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 (Arf, arf)
With flash lights 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 waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (Arf, arf)
I do hope that doggie's for sale

About (How Much is) That Doggie In the Window?

"(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?" is a popular novelty song. It is published as having been written by Bob Merrill in 1952 and loosely based on the folk tune Carnival of Venice. This song is also loosely based on the song "Oh, where, oh, where, has my little dog gone?" The best-known version of the song was the original, recorded by Patti Page on December 18, 1952, and released in January 1953 by Mercury Records as catalog numbers 70070 (78 rpm) and 70070X45 (45 rpm) under the title "The Doggie in the Window", with the flip side being "My Jealous Eyes". It reached No. 1 on both the Billboard and Cash Box charts in 1953, and sold over two million copies. Mercury, however, had poor distribution in the United Kingdom. Therefore, a recording by Lita Roza was the one most widely heard in the UK, reaching No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1953. It distinguished Roza as the first British woman to have a number-one hit in the UK chart. It was also the first song with a question in the title to reach number 1. more »

How much is that doggie in the window meaning?

"The original song asks the question: 'How much is that doggie in the window?' Today, the answer is 'too much. ' And I don't just mean the price tag on the puppies in pet stores. The real cost is in the suffering of the mother dogs back at the puppy mill. That's where most pet store puppies come from.
