 Barbie's First on T.V.

The first Barbie doll T.V. ad,

The year was 1959.

Remember telling Mom and Dad

I wanted Barbie to be mine.

Of course three dollars was a lot.

Promised the folks I'd do more chores.

It was important that I got

The doll now sold in best toy stores.

Watching this ad was a delight.

The Barbie pink I could not tell,

Cuz the T.V. was black and white.

I wished that Dad worked at Mattel.

The ad showed Barbie as a bride.

But no Ken yet stood by her side.
