“How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?” is a popular novelty song written by Bob Merrill and Ingrid Reuterskiöld in 1952. The best-known version of the song was recorded by Patti Page on December 18, 1952 and released by Mercury Records as catalog number 70070, with the flip side being “My Jealous Eyes”. It reached #1 on both the Billboard and Cash Box charts in 1953. However, Mercury, the record label which distributed Patti Page’s recordings at the time, had poor distribution in the United Kingdom. Therefore, a recording by Lita Roza was the one most widely heard in the UK, reaching #1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1953. It also distinguished Roza as the first British woman to have a number one hit in the UK chart. It was also the first song to reach number 1 with a question in the title.

How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
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?
The one with the waggley 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 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?
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie’s for sale

在櫥窗裡的那隻小狗多少錢?
那隻正搖著尾巴
在櫥窗裡的那隻小狗多少錢呢?
我真的很希望那隻小狗可以賣給我.
我要去一趟加利福尼亞,
留下我可憐的甜心孤孤伶伶的一個人
如果他有一隻狗他就不會那麼寂寞.
而且小狗將會有一個溫暖的家.
在櫥窗裡的那隻小狗多少錢?
那隻正搖著尾巴
在櫥窗裡的那隻小狗多少錢呢?
我真的希望那隻小狗可以賣給我.
我讀報紙說現在有強盜
拿著手電筒在黑暗裡閃爍
我的愛需要小狗保護他
並且用它的狗吠聲嚇走他們.
我不想要一隻小兔或小貓
我不想要會說話的鸚鵡
我不想要一缸的小魚
他無法帶一個金魚去散步
在櫥窗裡的那隻小狗多少錢?
那隻正搖著尾巴
在櫥窗裡的那隻小狗多少錢呢?
我真的很希望那隻小狗可以賣給我
