R-U-G-R-A-T-S

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, let's go there
Take me to that great place
With wonders and wishes

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, you know where
Just take me to that great place
With wonders and wishes

Sittin' here thinking about yesterday
About what we did and how we used to play
Just the thought of you brings a smile upon my face
That's how it makes me feel to see you everyday, whoa

Where we go, nobody knows
And what we do is between me and you
So come on and take my hand, to that special place
Where smiles come to life and dreams come true, ooh

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, let's go there
Take me to that great place
With wonders and wishes

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, you know where
Just take me to that great place
With wonders and wishes

Let's make a wish
Close your eyes and count to five
Cause you know that everything will be alright
I see the magic in your eyes
Strong enough you know to bring your dreams to life, whoa yeah

Where we go, nobody knows
And what we do is between me and you
So come on and take my hand, to that special place
Don't want this dream to ever go away, ooh

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, let's go there
Take me to that great place
With wonders and wishes

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, you know where
Just take me to that great place
With wonders and wishes

Now Angelica the one with all the exposure
Dil is the one they drop in the stroller
Tommy got the whole world on his shoulders
Cuz Dil cried to sleep cuz his eyes are beat
And as soon as they bring Chucky to petro
Chucky gets scared, Chucky says let's go
If I was a Rugrat, it wouldn't a been so real
Me and my twin woulda finished like Phil and Lil


Now with one wish, Blink grant you one trip
Where we going this adventure, who you wanna come with
See and you're my little brother that I'll come get
Run with, but it gotta be done quick
Though Chucky is scared and Tommy is sad
And Phil and Lil misses their mommy and dad
So pick a time and date and find a place
And I guarantee you that we all get home safe

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, let's go there
Take me to that great place
With wonders and wishes

Take me there, I wanna go there
Take me there, you know where




Just take me to that great place
With wonders and wishes

Overall Meaning

"Take On Me" by Countdown Singers is a song about going to an exciting and undisclosed location with a loved one. The lyrics, "Take me there, I wanna go there, let's go there, take me to that great place, with wonders and wishes," signify the desire to escape reality and experience something magical with someone special. The lines, "Where we go, nobody knows, and what we do is between me and you," reinforce the idea that the destination is secret and unknown, which further heightens the concept of experiencing a world of pure imagination. Additionally, the lyrics, "Close your eyes and count to five, 'cause you know that everything will be alright," suggest that the destination is a place of comfort and security where one can leave behind their worries and enjoy life.


The verse "Now Angelica the one with all the exposure, Dil is the one they drop in the stroller, Tommy got the whole world on his shoulders, 'cause Dil cried to sleep 'cause his eyes are beat, and as soon as they bring Chucky to Petro, Chucky gets scared, Chucky says let's go," are a nod to the 90s cartoon Rugrats. The characters in the verse are all the main characters of the show, and the verse describes various aspects of their personalities and relationships.
