Good Afternoon Ladies...

... We'd like to welcome you to our Clairol Color Carousel. Please see yourself in the hair color bubbles out in front. See yourself as a blonde, brunette or red head.

In line for the Carousel

If you'd like to come in afterwards; come take the ride around the Carousel. It's designed for women over sixteen years of age. You can take the ride around, relax, listen to a musical hair-coloring introduction sung by Johnny Desmond.

Johnny Desmond sings...

Johnny Desmond

When we dream by day,
or when we dream by night,
they say we dream in black and white
and what could be duller?

No color? No color!
Me, I like to think that I can choose my dreams.
So from now on I'll refuse my dreams unless they're in color.

Great. Cool.
Bright. Wild color!

"My feet are what's on my mind. Any place that lets you sit down at the Fair looks attractive to me!"
