The song "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?" is a popular novelty song written by Bob Merrill in 1952. The best-known version was recorded by Patti Page in December 1952 and released in January 1953. The song became a major hit, reaching No. 1 on both the Billboard and Cash Box charts and selling over two million copies. It was included in the sheet music charts and was one of the last million sellers in sheet music form in 1953. The song enjoyed popularity both in the United States and the United Kingdom, with some other versions also gaining recognition in the UK.

The lyrics focus on a person asking how much a doggie with a waggly tail in the window costs, expressing hope the doggie is for sale and wanting to give it a good home.

If the question implied by "how much" in the user's query was regarding the price mentioned in the song, the lyrics do not specify a price amount; instead, the repeated question is "How much is that doggie in the window?" without an answer or specific cost mentioned.

Thus, the song is about the inquiry of the doggie's price but does not state the actual amount in the lyrics. The song itself is a nostalgic 1950s pop hit widely recognized as a cheerful children's tune and novelty song.
