[Intro] Hey friends, gather round, Let’s learn about the sounds we make! Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, Let’s find the voice that’s just right. [Verse 1] When we walk into the classroom door, There’s learning, sharing, and so much more. We’ve got stories, books, and time to hear, So we use our voices nice and clear. Not too loud like we’re outside to play, Not too quiet where words slip away, There’s a special voice we like to choose, It’s called your inside voice — let’s use it! [Pre-Chorus] Check your space, look around, What kind of voice fits this sound? Inside the room, calm and nice, That’s the time for inside voice! [Chorus] Use your inside voice, soft and slow, So everyone can hear and know. Not a shout, not a roar, Just the voice we use indoors! Use your inside voice, clear and kind, A friendly sound from heart and mind. Inside the class, we make the choice, To use, to use our inside voice! [Verse 2] When the teacher starts to speak, We listen close and take a seat. If we have a thought to share, We raise our hand to show we care. Talking with a friend nearby, We keep it low so others try To read, to think, to hear the noise Of learning with an inside voice. [Pre-Chorus] Feel the room, hear the tone, Are we talking? Are we alone? If we’re inside, calm and nice, That’s the time for inside voice! [Chorus] Use your inside voice, soft and slow, So everyone can hear and know. Not a shout, not a roar, Just the voice we use indoors! Use your inside voice, clear and kind, A friendly sound from heart and mind. Inside the class, we make the choice, To use, to use our inside voice! [Bridge – Call & Response] If you’re inside — what voice do you use? Inside voice! If you’re reading — what voice do you choose? Inside voice! If you’re talking one-on-one, Keep it gentle, keep it fun! Inside spaces, calm and nice, We all use our inside voice! [Verse 3] Sometimes we get excited fast, We forget the rules we learned in class. That’s okay, we stop and breathe, Take it down a notch with me. We can whisper, we can speak, At a level that’s just right and neat. Being loud isn’t the only choice, We’re smart — we choose our inside voice! [Final Chorus] Use your inside voice, soft and slow, So everyone can hear and know. Not a shout, not a roar, Just the voice we use indoors! Use your inside voice, calm and kind, A happy habit every time. Inside the class, we make the choice, To use, to use our inside voice! [Outro] Great job, friends, you did it right, Your voices sound so calm and bright. Inside the room, we all rejoice, When we remember — inside voice!
