About This Song

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!

This playful family hip hop track from Snuggle Bunch turns the classic parent-child messy standoff into a catchy sing-along. With its catchy wordplay and humor, it’s the kind of song that makes parents laugh and kids feel seen. And sometimes, creativity does looks a lot like chaos!

Lyrics

🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵

Mommy, I made a mess
I know it isn’t the best
But this room was too clean and it made me stressed
And to this, I can attest
When I see all my things spread out over the floor
I adore this little room even more and more

I’m sorry Mommy, I made a mess
I’ve got to get this off my chest
And when I see all my things spread out on the floor
I adore this room even more and more

This room was looking tidy
Too nice, too tight
It’s my plight that this room doesn’t sit alright
But now I’ve decorated, my toy’s been liberated
I’m no longer agitated so now we can play!

I’m sorry Mommy, I made a mess
I’ve got to get this off my chest
And when I see all my things spread out on the floor
I think I like this room even a little more
And more and more

It’s not out of spite, this is my creativity
I have a proclivity for this kind of activity
So everything is out, I’ve arranged the decor
With blocks and trains and dinosaurs
It’s a giant mess, no one could ignore
I don’t think I want to play here anymore

I’m sorry Mommy, I made a mess
I’ve got to get this off my chest
And when I see all my things spread out on the floor
I don’t think I want to play here anymore

(What?)

I’m sorry mommy, I made a mess
I’ve got to get this off my chest
And when I see all my things spread out on the floor
I don’t think I want to play here anymore

More songs!

  • Pop! Goes the Weasel

    ByWolfie

    This classic nursery rhyme updated for the modern day! Our remix of “Pop! Goes the Weasel” flips the classic melody your kids already love with a brand new story: the monkey didn’t mean any harm, but the weasel wasn’t having fun, and now they’ve got to talk it out! It’s playground conflict resolution set to a beat, and it lands better than any lecture ever could.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Bubble Gun!

    ByWolfie

    If you’ve ever watched a kid see a bunch of bubbles floating through the air and completely lose their mind, you already understand this song. “Bubble Gun!” is about that one toy that turns any afternoon into pure magic. The iridescent shine, the cute spherical shape, and the absolute joy when the bubbles start flying.

  • 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.
