There was an old man Named Michael

Finnegan

He grew whiskers On his chin-ne-gan

The wind came out And blew them in again

HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW

How much is that doggie in the win - dow. The one with the waggledy tail.

How much is that doggie in the win - dow, I do hope that doggie’s for sale.

I must take a trip to Cali - forn - ia And leave my poor sweetheart a - lone

If she has a dog she won’t be lone – some And the doggie will have a good home.

How much is that doggie in the win - dow. The one with the waggledy tail.

How much is that doggie in the win - dow, I do hope that doggie’s for sale.

I read in the papers there are rob - bers With flashlights that shine in the dark

My love needs a doggie to protect her And scare them away with one bark.

How much is that doggie in the win - dow. The one with the waggledy tail.

How much is that doggie in the win - dow, I do hope that doggie’s for sale.

I don’t want a bunny or a kit - ty I don’t want a parrot that talks

I don’t want a bowl of little fishes You can’t take a goldfish for walks

How much is that doggie in the win - dow. The one with the waggledy tail.

How much is that doggie in the win - dow, I do hope that doggie’s for sale.
