Solved: Carnival Day -- who sang this and when?

Here is a song -- the singer is female -- from the late 1960s or maybe early 1970s whose lyrics are

There's a little town I know
Where most people never go
Then comes Carnival Day
Children sing and dance while they play

Come with me and join in the big parade
Plenty of lemonade
Candy floss ready-made
Sing and dance the whole of the night away
Come on it's Carnival Day

Each house gets an extra coat of paint
Even Molly Brown looks like what she ain't
There's so much to be seen
Dancing with the Carnival Queen

Come with me and join in the big parade
Plenty of lemonade
Candy floss ready-made
Sing and dance the whole of the night away
Come on it's Carnival Day

In this little town I know
Even we'll be back for next year's show
Hearts are happy and gay
When they remember Carnival Day

Come with me and join in the big parade
Plenty of lemonade
Candy floss ready-made
Sing and dance the whole of the night away
Come on it's Carnival Day


I'm guessing the title is "Carnival Day". There are lots of songs on ITunes (and elsewhere on the internet) with this title, but none of them are this song, so perhaps I have the title wrong. Does anybody know the title, the singer, the year, and if a digital recording of this is out there somewhere?

Well found Dan, but it never charted in the UK, that's probably why I couldn't find it.

Mixalopoulos,

The song only charted on Carnival Day!

Again, many thanks! I am very impressed by the rate of speed at which you find these things! Whatever happened to the New Faces?
