Take Me to the Fair

Elvis Presley · It Happened at the World's Fair/Fun in Acapulco

Take me to the fair
Take me to the fair, donÂ’t know anywhere
I would rather be

LetÂ’s, go to the fair
WeÂ’ll walk hand in hand, through tomorrow land
Only you and me

*chorus
I wanna see everything, do everything
While weÂ’re doinÂ’ it all
IÂ’ll buy the peanuts and popcorn
WeÂ’ll have us a ball

You can spend my pay
Crush me in the crowds, IÂ’ll be in the clouds
Honey I donÂ’t care

Take me there by sleigh
Go, letÂ’s get a bite, anywhere you like
But take me to the fair

I wanna see everything, do everything
While weÂ’re doinÂ’ it all
IÂ’ll buy the peanuts and popcorn
WeÂ’ll have us a ball

Take me there by sleigh
Go, letÂ’s have a bite, anywhere you like
But take me to the fair

Take me to the fair, take me to the fair
Take me to the fair

Take Me to the Fair

Take Me to the Fair stands as a vibrant example of Elvis Presley's mid-1960s output, recorded during a period when the King of Rock and Roll was deeply engaged with the musical film genre. Featured on the soundtrack for the 1963 motion picture It Happened at the World's Fair, the track captures the playful and romantic energy that defined much of his cinematic work during this era. The song reflects Presley's ability to blend upbeat pop sensibilities with his signature vocal charisma, creating a recording that complements the film's lighthearted narrative. While often overshadowed by his more monumental rock anthems, this piece remains a cherished element of his extensive discography, showcasing his versatility in delivering charming, narrative-driven performances that resonated with audiences of the time.
