    I always heard it as "waggely".

    According to Wikipedia:

    Let's ask Patti Page, who took the song to #1 back in 1953.

    Sounds like "waggelly" to me. Although I've never understood that line. Don't pretty much ALL dogs have "waggelly" tails? It's like saying "How much is that doggie in the window? The one with the fur?"

    I think this is missing the point. Is it really likely that only one dog in the window is wagging its tail? And couldn't you just say "the one whose tail is wagging"? Actually, wouldn't it be more consistent to name the breed? Of course you could just approach the window and point to it...

    Waggedy.
     
  14. Waggley? I think?

    In the video, she does in fact indicate the dog (if not exactly point to it). And take note of the fact that this dog's tail isn't wagging in the slightest at the start of the video. :slight_smile:

    It's "raggedy", as pronounced by Elmer Fudd. As in "That wascally wabbit has a waggedy tail. Huh huh huh huh huh..."
