How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?
DESCRIPTION: "How much is that doggie in the window? The one with the waggly tail.... I do hope that doggie's for sale." The singer wishes to leave it with a sweetheart. It will be company and guard the home. It's better than other pets; you can't walk a goldfish!
