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!

  • You’re a Big Man!

    ByWolfie

    An experimental jazz track sampling and remixing an improvised acapella recording, incorporating horns and a live jazzy feel to a lighthearted melody about my son growing up. “You’re a Big Man!” started as a simple voice memo ( a proud dad moment caught on tape ) and evolved into a horn-driven, jazz-flavored celebration of watching your little one hit those big milestones.

  • Little Bird!

    ByWolfie

    There’s something special about watching a little bird hop around in a tree. Happy, wild, free, doing a little wiggle and fluffing its feathers. It just clicks with kids! “Little Bird!” captures that wide-eyed wonder. We wrote this one outside of daycare right after dropoff, it has a special place in our hearts!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Time to Take a Nap (Foxy’s Version)

    ByFoxy Rox

    One of our first songs was a lullaby featuring folk singer Mama Goose. After recording, we decided to let Foxy have a shot at recording this a laid-back, melodic spin on one of our first tracks. It hits different when you need something a little softer to wind things down. Featuring an extended outro thats designed to give parents the time to pause the music and sneak out of the room.

  • 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!
