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

  • 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 Bird!

    ByWolfie

    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!

  • 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.

  • 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’m Not Tired!

    ByWolfie

    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.”
