About This Song

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.

This version contains an instrumental mix, perfect if your little one needs a little more time to settle down.

This chill family-friendly rap is perfect for winding down toddlers and preschoolers who need a little convincing that sleep is actually a good idea. Smooth enough for naptime routines, catchy enough that your kid might actually look forward to lying down. We can dream, right?

Lyrics

😴😴😴😴😴😴

It’s time to take a nap
To make you feel good
If you don’t nap
You won’t feel like you should
Because naptime is great
I tell ya it’s true
I’d take a nap too
But I’ve got cleanup to do

Because when you nap
You feel better
Follow this advice
Down to the letter
Take a nap once or twice a day
It’s the best way to slay and play

It’ll keep you feeling good
Until the sun goes down
And when you wake up
We’re gonna paint the town

It’s time to take a nap
It’s time to take a nap
It’s time to take a nap
Nap time

  • Ask For Help!

    ByFoxy Rox

    There’s always that one snack, the favorite toy, the thing your toddler absolutely needs right this second. And instead of asking, they’re already scaling the furniture like a tiny rock climber with zero safety training. “Ask For Help!” is the song for that moment. It’s a gentle reminder that parents are tall for a reason, and there’s no shame in letting someone reach it for you.

  • Broccoli Lovers!

    ByFoxy Rox

    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.

  • Big ol’ Truck!

    ByFoxy Rox

    There’s no explaining it — your kid sees a truck and the whole world stops. Doesn’t matter if it’s a dump truck, a fire engine, or just a normal pickup. “Big ol’ Truck!” captures that pure, unfiltered hype that only a kid standing on the sidewalk pointing at heavy machinery can produce. Oh wow oh man! Inspired by a real quote from my son when he was 2.

  • Time To Get Dressed! (Put on Your Clothes)

    ByWolfie

    If the morning routine has a final boss, it’s getting your kid into clothes. They’re comfy. They don’t want to exit pajamas. Pants are optional in their worldview. “Time To Get Dressed!” turns the daily clothing struggle into a race against the song, and it really works! Challenge your kids to see if they can get dressed by the end of the song. One leg, two leg, shirt on the body now!

  • Mac and Cheese!

    ByWolfie

    “Mac and Cheese!” is an ode to the one meal that never gets turned down! After time and time again trying to make something nice for my kids for dinner, we’ve come to realize if there’s mac and cheese, it’s gonna be a winner.

  • Squeaky Clean!

    ByFoxy Rox

    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.
