I’m Not Tired!

About This Song

The yawning. The eye rubbing. The absolute insistence that they are NOT tired. “I’m Not Tired!” is every bedtime negotiation set to a beat — the snack requests, the TV demands, the Bluey bargaining. And then the line that every parent feels in their bones: “My voice will be heard around the nation, because I lack emotional regulation.”

This family hip hop bedtime anthem is for toddlers and preschoolers who fight sleep like it’s their job. If your house turns into a tiny protest rally every night around 7:30, this track will make you laugh instead of cry. Pajamas have never been so controversial!

If your little one loved this, check out Time to Take a Nap, Time to Take a Nap (Foxy’s Version), and Sorry Mommy for more relatable Snuggle Bunch songs!

Lyrics

🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩🫩

I’m not tired!
I don’t wanna go to sleep
I need a snack and I wanna watch TV
I’m not tired
I don’t wanna go to sleep
I need a snack, I wanna watch Bluey

Hey mom and dad
I’m not ready for bed
I don’t wanna rest my head
I need to run around
And I need to shout
I need to get my energy out

Oh no, don’t put me in my pajamas
Oh no, Daddy and mama

I’m not tired!
I don’t wanna go to sleep
I need a snack and I wanna watch TV
I’m not tired
I don’t wanna go to sleep
I need a snack, I wanna watch Bluey

I may be yawning
With bags under my eyes
But my energy level
Will be quite a surprise
My little voice
Will be heard round the nation
Because I lack emotional regulation

I’m not tired!
I don’t wanna go to sleep
I need a snack and I wanna watch TV
I’m not tired
I don’t wanna go to sleep
I need a snack, I wanna watch TV

( Oh no )
I’m not tired!
I don’t wanna go to sleep
I need a snack and I wanna watch TV
I’m not tired
I don’t wanna go to sleep
I need a snack, I wanna watch TV

Oh no, daddy and mama
Oh no, don’t put me in those!

  • 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.

  • Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)

    ByWolfie

    Every parent knows the scene: you just tidied up, turned around for one second, and your toddler has redecorated the entire room with blocks, trains, and dinosaurs. “Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)” captures that moment perfectly, the parenting experience told from the kid’s point of view. My three year old actually said “I’m sorry mommy, I made a mess” and I knew there was a song there!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.
