About This Song

You know that moment when your kid has exactly one volume setting (and it’s too loud?) When baby brother just nodded off, the teacher’s mid-sentence, and your child picks right now to test the acoustics. “Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)” is for every parent who’s ever done the frantic whisper-shush while their kid stares back like you’re the unreasonable one.

This laid-back family hip hop track turns the classic inside voice reminder into a smooth, head-nodding RnB groove that toddlers and preschoolers will to repeat… quietly, we hope! Perfect for the classroom, the library, or any moment when the volume needs to come down about eleven notches.

If your little one loved this, check out Ask For Help!, Broccoli Lovers!, and Teamwork (Makes the Dream Work!) for more Snuggle Bunch songs about good habits!

Lyrics

🤫 🤫 🤫 🤫 🤫 🤫

Inside voices
Try to keep it down
It’s time to relax
Don’t be too loud
Inside voices
Inside voices
Inside voices
Let’s keep it down

Use your inside voice
When baby brother is asleep
Use your inside voice
When the teacher’s trying to teach

Inside voices
Inside voices
Inside voices
Let’s keep it down

Use your inside voice
When it’s your turn to speak
Use your inside voice
When classmates are trying to read
Inside voices
Inside voices
Inside voices
Let’s keep it down

Inside voices
Try to keep it down
It’s time to relax
Don’t be too loud
Inside voices
Inside voices
Inside voices
Let’s keep it down

More songs!

  • I’m a Dog!

    ByWolfie

    “I’m a Dog!” captures that pure, unfiltered joy of pretending to be a puppy! Complete with woofing, being aloof, and dropping bars in the booth. It’s silly, it’s loud, and it’s exactly as chaotic as the living room on a Saturday morning.

  • Teamwork (Makes the Dream Work!)

    ByWolfie

    Some things are just better together! Building a block tower, cleaning up toys, or playing outside on a nice day. “Teamwork (Makes the Dream Work!)” is a song about cooperation and collaboration. It’s the kind of song that gets stuck in your head for a reason: it’s a good message! We’re greater than the sum of our parts, and this track makes sure your kids know it.

  • Time to Take a Nap

    ByFoxy Rox

    Nap time isn’t just for kids — it’s a survival strategy for the whole house. “Time to Take a Nap” is the original nap anthem, and it keeps it real: naptime makes everything better! And yeah, we’d nap too if we didn’t have cleanup to do.

  • Time to Take a Nap (Foxy’s Version)

    ByFoxy Rox

    One of our first songs was a lullaby featuring folk singer Mama Goose. After recording, we decided to let Foxy have a shot at recording this a laid-back, melodic spin on one of our first tracks. It hits different when you need something a little softer to wind things down. Featuring an extended outro thats designed to give parents the time to pause the music and sneak out of the room.

  • I’m Not Tired!

    ByWolfie

    The yawning. The eye rubbing. The absolute insistence that they are NOT tired. “I’m Not Tired!” is every bedtime negotiation set to a beat — the snack requests, the TV demands, the Bluey bargaining. And then the line that every parent feels in their bones: “My voice will be heard around the nation, because I lack emotional regulation.”
