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!

  • 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!

  • Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)

    ByFoxy Rox

    You know that moment when your kid has exactly one volume setting (and it’s too loud?) When baby brother just nodded off, the teacher’s mid-sentence, and your child picks right now to test the acoustics. “Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)” is for every parent who’s ever done the frantic whisper-shush while their kid stares back like you’re the unreasonable one.

  • Peanut Butter Sandwich!

    ByFoxy Rox

    Mom made something amazing for dinner. Dad put together a beautiful plate. And yet, the kid wants a peanut butter sandwich. Every family has that one meal their kid will always choose over whatever you actually cooked, and “Peanut Butter Sandwich!” turns that standoff into a groove. No negotiations, no bribes, just pure loyalty to their favorite food no matter what else is on offer.

  • Bubble Gun!

    ByWolfie

    If you’ve ever watched a kid see a bunch of bubbles floating through the air and completely lose their mind, you already understand this song. “Bubble Gun!” is about that one toy that turns any afternoon into pure magic. The iridescent shine, the cute spherical shape, and the absolute joy when the bubbles start flying.

  • Teamwork (Makes the Dream Work!)

    ByWolfie

    Some things are just better together! Building a block tower, cleaning up toys, or playing outside on a nice day. “Teamwork (Makes the Dream Work!)” is a song about cooperation and collaboration. It’s the kind of song that gets stuck in your head for a reason: it’s a good message! We’re greater than the sum of our parts, and this track makes sure your kids know it.

  • 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!
