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!

It also kicks off the energy-burn phase in our toddler bedtime routine guide.

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

  • It’s a Stick!

    ByWolfie

    Hand a kid a stick and watch what happens! It’s a sword. It’s a rocket ship. It’s the key to an entire kingdom that didn’t exist thirty seconds ago. “It’s a Stick!” captures that wild, beautiful imagination that turns the simplest thing in the yard into the greatest toy ever made. Plus, “It’s a beautiful incredible stick!” is a direct quote from my 3 year old.

  • 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 Had So Much Fun

    ByWolfie

    “I Had So Much Fun” is the mellow, end-of-day reprise from Snuggle Bunch’s second album. A gentle wind-down version of the title track that helps little ones settle after a big day of playing, laughing, and running around. Full lyrics and streaming links inside.

  • Did You Toot?

    ByWolfie

    “Did You Toot?” goes right into the giggle zone that every kid lives in and every parent has navigated… at the dinner table, in the car, and somehow always at the quietest possible moment. The song takes the silly and makes it smart, with verses about toots big and small!

  • You’re a Big Man!

    ByWolfie

    An experimental jazz track sampling and remixing an improvised acapella recording, incorporating horns and a live jazzy feel to a lighthearted melody about my son growing up. “You’re a Big Man!” started as a simple voice memo ( a proud dad moment caught on tape ) and evolved into a horn-driven, jazz-flavored celebration of watching your little one hit those big milestones.
