About This Song

Nap time isn’t just for kids — it’s a survival strategy for the whole house. “Time to Take a Nap” is the original nap anthem, and it keeps it real: naptime makes everything better! And yeah, we’d nap too if we didn’t have cleanup to do.

This version contains an instrumental mix, perfect if your little one needs a little more time to settle down.

This chill family-friendly rap is perfect for winding down toddlers and preschoolers who need a little convincing that sleep is actually a good idea. Smooth enough for naptime routines, catchy enough that your kid might actually look forward to lying down. We can dream, right?

Lyrics

😴😴😴😴😴😴

It’s time to take a nap
To make you feel good
If you don’t nap
You won’t feel like you should
Because naptime is great
I tell ya it’s true
I’d take a nap too
But I’ve got cleanup to do

Because when you nap
You feel better
Follow this advice
Down to the letter
Take a nap once or twice a day
It’s the best way to slay and play

It’ll keep you feeling good
Until the sun goes down
And when you wake up
We’re gonna paint the town

It’s time to take a nap
It’s time to take a nap
It’s time to take a nap
Nap time

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
