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?

If your little one loved this, check out Time to Take a Nap (Foxy’s Version), I’m Not Tired, and I’m a Little Teapot for more chill Snuggle Bunch songs!

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

  • THREEnager!

    ByWolfie

    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!

  • 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.

  • Schmutz!

    ByWolfie

    There’s always something on their face. You don’t know what it is, or how it got there, but it needs to come off before we meet the grandparents! “Schmutz!” is a love letter to that universal parent move — the lick-the-thumb wipe, the sleeve grab, the “hold still for one second” that never actually takes one second. Sometimes it’s crusty, sometimes it’s soft, and it’s always the most embarrassing moment.

  • 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.

  • 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.
