Intro (Teddy Riley Of Blackstreet):
Are-you-G-are-A-T-S
Chorus: Mya and Blackstreet
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
Just take me to that great place with wonders and wishes.
Verse One: Mya
Sittin here thinkin bout 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
Where we go, nobody knows
And what we do, is between me and you
So c'mon and take my hand, to that special place
Where smiles come to life and dreams come true
[Chorus:]
Verse Two: Chauncey Of Blackstreet
Let's make a wish
Close your eyes and count to five
Cuz you know that everything will be alright
I see the magic in your eyes
You're strong enough I know
To bring your dreams to life
Where we go, Nobody knows
And what we do, is between me and you
So c'mon and take my hand, to that special place
I don't want this dream to ever go away
[Chorus:]
Rap One: Mase
Now Angelica's the one with all the exposure
Dil is the one who drop in the stroller
Tommy got the whole world on his shoulders
And Dil cries to sleep
Til' his eyes get bleak
I'm identical to Chuckie, Chuckie to petro
Chuckie get scared, Chuckie says "Let's Go."
If I was a rugrat, it would've been so real
Me and my twin would've been just like Phil and Lil
Rap Two: Blinky Blink
And with one wish, Blink grant you one trip
Where we goin, it's an adventure, who you wanna come with
See you're my little brother that I'll come get
Run with, But it's gotta be done quick
Yo Chucky is scared and Tommy is sad
And Phil and Lil misses their mom and dad
So take the time of day
And we'll find the place
And I guarantee that we will all get home safe
Mya: Just Take me there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Chorus:]
The Rugrats' song "Take Me There" is a playful, adventurous track that highlights the thrill of childhood memories with friends. Mya and Blackstreet sing the chorus, "Take me there, I wanna go there / Take me there, let's go there / Take me to that great place with wonders and wishes," urging listeners to remember and relive these carefree moments.
Verse one, sung by Mya, reminisces about past experiences with a smile, stating that "where we go, nobody knows / and what we do, is between me and you." It's a secret, special place where they can make dreams come true. Chauncey of Blackstreet supports the idea of making wishes in verse two, urging listeners to close their eyes and count to five. He also affirms the listener's capability to make their dreams a reality.
Mase and Blinky Blink take on rap verses, with Mase imagining himself as a Rugrat and identifying with Chuckie. He'd be just like Phil and Lil in partnership with his twin. Meanwhile, Blinky Blink grants the listener a wish, promising a fun adventure with safety guaranteed.
One central message of the song is that the joys of childhood aren't limited by physical boundaries or material possessions. It's about the memories and the people you create them with that make it all worthwhile.
