How Much is That Doggie in the Window?

81-year-old singer Patti Page is my new hero.  You probably know her song, “How Much is That Doggie in the Window?”

Well…she’s decided to re-release the song, but has changed the lyrics to reflect the changing times and to promote her book, “This Is My Song.” She’s given the Humane Society of the US permission to use the lyrics to advertise their cause.

Here are the new lyrics, sung, of course, to the same tune of “How Much is that Doggie in the Window?”

Do You See That Doggie in the Shelter

Do you see that doggie in the shelter
the one with the take me home eyes
If you give him love and attention
he will be your best friend for life

In each town and city across the nation,
there’s so many dogs with no home
Hungry with no one to protect them
lost in this world all alone

Chorus

Collies and beagles by the roadside
puppies and dogs in the street
Once they are rescued by a shelter
they’ll finally have something to eat

Doggies and kitties who are homeless
with sad eyes and tails hanging down
Let’s do what we can to show them kindness
and let them know they’ve been found
