The Doggie in the Window Lyrics

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
