I'm Not Tired - hip hop bedtime song for kids by Snuggle Bunch

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!

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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Let’s Go Outside!

    ByWolfie

    It could be raining. It could be a hurricane! But the kids need to go outside. We’ve all had the realization that no amount of toys, screen time, or couch forts will substitute for just getting them out the door. “Let’s Go Outside!” is that truth set to a beat, it’s as much a pep talk for us as it is for them.

  • 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.

  • 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.
