This is a
children’s song used as a kind of gleeful
filibuster to wear
parents down in to
buying a dog or other
pet. There are not set
verses and it's
easy and fun to
make up your own.( though now
pottedstu tells me a version of the song was written by
Bob Merrill 1924-1928)
How much is that
doggy in the window? (
woof,
woof)
The one with the
wiggly tail.
How much is that
doggy in the window? (
woof,
woof)
I do hope that doggy's
for sale!
How much is that
Kitty in the window? (meow)
The one that
purrs so so sweet
How much is that Kitty in the window? (meow)
I do hope that Kitty's for sale!
How much is that
Bunny in the window? (hop)
The one that goes
hip-ity-hop
How much is that Bunny in the window? (hop)
I do hope that Bunny is for sale!
I must take a trip to
California (or insert place of your choice)
And leave my poor
sweetheart alone
If he has no dog he'll be
lonesome
And the doggy won't have a good home
