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!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Squeaky Clean!

    ByFoxy Rox

    Bath time in our house goes one of two ways: absolute refusal to get in, or absolute refusal to get out. Usually both. “Squeaky Clean!” is for that first hurdle — getting everyone into the tub with minimal negotiations. Once the suds are flowing and the rub-a-dub-dub kicks in, even the most reluctant bather starts having a good time. Just please don’t pee! We’re trying to get clean.

  • Ducky! (Quack Quack Quack)

    ByWolfie

    “Ducky! (Quack Quack Quack)” is a little different from other Snuggle Bunch songs. It’s an experimental, sample-based track born from a moment of pure joy — watching my one-year-old spot his favorite rubber ducky and completely lose it with excitement! It’s not a lyrical deep-dive, and it’s not trying to be. It’s a vibe! Playful, chaotic, and overflowing with the kind of happiness only a toddler and a bath toy can create.

  • I Had So Much Fun

    ByWolfie

    “I Had So Much Fun” is the mellow, end-of-day reprise from Snuggle Bunch’s second album. A gentle wind-down version of the title track that helps little ones settle after a big day of playing, laughing, and running around. Full lyrics and streaming links inside.

  • Mac and Cheese!

    ByWolfie

    “Mac and Cheese!” is an ode to the one meal that never gets turned down! After time and time again trying to make something nice for my kids for dinner, we’ve come to realize if there’s mac and cheese, it’s gonna be a winner.
