About This Song

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!

This gentle family hip hop track is perfect for little ones who love nature, animals, and imagining what it’s like to fly. “Little Bird” is sweet sing-along for toddlers and preschoolers, and a delightful bop for parents, too.

If your little one loved this, check out I’m a Dog, Ducky, and Let’s Go Outside for more animal-themed Snuggle Bunch songs!

Lyrics

🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦 🐦

Little bird in a little green tree
So happy so wild so free
Little bird in the big blue sky
So happy so free so wild

I would like to be
A little bird in a big ol’ tree
I would like to see
All the things the birdies see

Little bird, in the tree
Little bird, you and me
You might be little
But you know your stuff
You do a wiggle
When your feathers fluff

Little bird in a little green tree
So happy so wild so free
Little bird in the big blue sky
So happy so free so wild

I would like to be
A little bird in a big ol’ tree
I would like to see
All the things the birdies see

Little bird, in the tree
Little bird, you and me
You might be little
But you know your stuff
You do a wiggle
When your feathers fluff

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Little Man Dance

    ByWolfie

    A new experimental jazz tune with Jazz Animals, inspired entirely by this adorable squat dance my one year old does whenever he hears a song he likes! A big fan of the sound of a trumpet, this one takes a similar sample-based approach to You’re a Big Man!, but with a slightly more laid-back vibe.

  • 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.
