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

  • Pop! Goes the Weasel

    ByWolfie

    This classic nursery rhyme updated for the modern day! Our remix of “Pop! Goes the Weasel” flips the classic melody your kids already love with a brand new story: the monkey didn’t mean any harm, but the weasel wasn’t having fun, and now they’ve got to talk it out! It’s playground conflict resolution set to a beat, and it lands better than any lecture ever could.

  • Bubble Gun!

    ByWolfie

    If you’ve ever watched a kid see a bunch of bubbles floating through the air and completely lose their mind, you already understand this song. “Bubble Gun!” is about that one toy that turns any afternoon into pure magic. The iridescent shine, the cute spherical shape, and the absolute joy when the bubbles start flying.

  • 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.

  • I Want To Have Fun!

    ByWolfie

    The title track and high-energy opener of Snuggle Bunch’s second album. “I Want To Have Fun!” is a family hip hop anthem that captures the first-thing-in-the-morning burst of energy every parent knows too well. Full lyrics and streaming links inside.
