Take Me To The Fair

Elvis Presley · It Happened At The World's Fair [1963]

Take me to the fair

Take me to the fair, don't know anywhere

I would rather be

Let's, go to the fair

We'll walk hand in hand, through tomorrow land

Only you and me

*chorus

I wanna see everything, do everything

While we're doin' it all

I'll buy the peanuts and popcorn

We'll have us a ball

You can spend my pay

Crush me in the crowds, I'll be in the clouds

Honey I don't care

Take me there by sleigh

Go, let's get a bite, anywhere you like

But take me to the fair

I wanna see everything, do everything

While we're doin' it all

I'll buy the peanuts and popcorn

We'll have us a ball

Take me there by sleigh

Go, let'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

Recorded during a prolific period of film soundtracks, Take Me To The Fair stands as a charming example of Elvis Presley's mid-1960s pop sensibility. Featured on the 1963 album It Happened At The World's Fair, the track captures the lighthearted energy characteristic of his movie era. While Presley was simultaneously exploring deeper soul and rock influences, this recording reflects the polished, accessible style that defined much of his commercial output during this time. The song remains a notable song in his extensive catalogue, showcasing his ability to deliver catchy, narrative-driven pop tunes that complemented the visual storytelling of his films. It serves as a reminder of the King's versatility, bridging the gap between his early rock and roll dominance and the sophisticated vocal performances that would follow in later years.
