[Verse 1]
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
Honey, 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

[Verse 2]
Take me there by sleigh
Roller skate or bike, anyway you like
But take me to the fair

[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

[Outro]
Take me there by sleigh
Roller skate or bike, anyway you like
But take me to the fair

Take me to the fair
Take me to the fair

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
