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

  • Time to Take a Nap

    ByFoxy Rox

    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.

  • Schmutz!

    ByWolfie

    There’s always something on their face. You don’t know what it is, or how it got there, but it needs to come off before we meet the grandparents! “Schmutz!” is a love letter to that universal parent move — the lick-the-thumb wipe, the sleeve grab, the “hold still for one second” that never actually takes one second. Sometimes it’s crusty, sometimes it’s soft, and it’s always the most embarrassing moment.

  • 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.

  • 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.
