Threenager song — "THREEnager!" cover art by Snuggle Bunch

THREEnager!

About This Song

They want it. They need it. They must have it right now! You hand it over and…nope, they don’t want it anymore, it’s on the floor. Welcome to three. “THREEnager!” is told from the kid’s perspective. They make a fair point: they’ve only been on this planet for three short years, everything is a challenge. That doesn’t make the “why why why” phase any easier to survive, but at least now it has a beat!

This family hip hop anthem for the threenager stage captures the beautiful chaos of raising a three-year-old. Parents of preschoolers who are deep in the trenches: you’re not alone! But yes, things were easier when they were two.

Lyrics

🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵

I’ve only been on this planet
For three short years
But I gotta tell ya one thing is clear
I know I’m loud
And I don’t mean to shout
But that’s just how
My feelings come out

THREEnager

That thing in your hand
I want it a lot
If I don’t have it right now
I’m a blow my top
When you hand it over
I won’t want it no more
I’ll chuck that old thing
Right onto the floor

I’m just being me
And that’s all I can do
Can you believe things were easier
When I was two?
Every day a new challenge
A new battle to wage
But it’s all appropriate
For my age

THREEnager
THREEnager
Why why why why why why why
THREEnager
I’m a THREEnager
Why why why why why why why
THREEnager

  • Pop! Goes the Weasel

    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.

  • Broccoli Lovers!

    When my one-year-old discovered broccoli and decides it’s the greatest thing on the planet, I wrote a song about it! “Broccoli Lovers!” was born out of watching our littlest Snuggle Bunch fan devour every piece of broccoli in sight, while his skeptical three-year-old brother looked on, unconvinced. This fun family hip hop track is a love letter to the kids who can’t get enough of the green stuff, and a gentle nudge for the ones still making up their minds.

  • Squeaky Clean!

    Bath time in our house goes one of two ways: absolute refusal to get in, or absolute refusal to get out. Usually both. “Squeaky Clean!” is for that first hurdle — getting everyone into the tub with minimal negotiations. Once the suds are flowing and the rub-a-dub-dub kicks in, even the most reluctant bather starts having a good time. Just please don’t pee! We’re trying to get clean.

  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (R&B Mix)

    You’ve sung “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” a thousand times. In the car, at bedtime, in the grocery store when things were getting dicey. So we figured, what if that melody got the R&B treatment it’s been quietly deserving all along? This version keeps every word your kids already know and wraps it in a smooth, soulful groove that won’t make you want to leave the room by verse two.

  • I Want To Have Fun!

    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.

  • I’m a Little Teapot!

    Your kids already know the words. They’ve been doing the handle-and-spout dance since daycare. So we took “I’m a Little Teapot” and flipped it to a hip hop bop it’s been waiting for. We kept the classic verses and added on our spin about heating up water for mommies and daddies, and how a fresh cup of tea helps us parents! Let’s be real, sometimes a teapot song is for the grown-ups too.
