Lyrics
Take me to the fair
Take me to the fair, don’t know anywhere
I would rather beLet’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 ballYou can spend my pay
Crush me in the crowds, I’ll be in the clouds
Honey I don’t careTake me there by sleigh
Roller skate or bike, anyway you like
But take me to the fairI wanna see everything, do everything
While we’re doin’ it all
I’ll buy the peanuts and popcorn
We’ll have us a ballYou can spend my pay
Crush me in the crowds, I’ll be in the clouds
Honey I don’t careTake me there by sleigh
Roller skate or bike, anyway you like
But take me to the fairTake me to the fair
Take me to the fairÂ
