How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?

Words & Music:

Bob Merrill

 

Songhound Joan sent along the first verse and showed the correct format for this song.  And she had an original recording to prove it! 

 

A                         E

I must take a trip to California

E                               A

And leave my poor sweetheart at home.

A                         E

If she has a doggie to protect her

E                           A

The doggie will have a good home.

 

CHORUS:

A                              E

How much is that doggie in the window?

E                        A

The one with the waggily tail.

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie's for sale.

 

I read in the papers there are robbers

With flashlights that shine in the dark.

My love needs a doggie to protect her

And scare them away with one bark.

 

CHORUS:

 

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.

You can't take a goldfish for a walk.

 

CHORUS:
