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

  • Broccoli Lovers!

    ByFoxy Rox

    When my one-year-old discovered broccoli and decides it’s the greatest thing on the planet, I wrote a song about it! “Broccoli Lovers!” was born out of watching our littlest Snuggle Bunch fan devour every piece of broccoli in sight, while his skeptical three-year-old brother looked on, unconvinced. This fun family hip hop track is a love letter to the kids who can’t get enough of the green stuff, and a gentle nudge for the ones still making up their minds.

  • Squeaky Clean!

    ByFoxy Rox

    Bath time in our house goes one of two ways: absolute refusal to get in, or absolute refusal to get out. Usually both. “Squeaky Clean!” is for that first hurdle — getting everyone into the tub with minimal negotiations. Once the suds are flowing and the rub-a-dub-dub kicks in, even the most reluctant bather starts having a good time. Just please don’t pee! We’re trying to get clean.

  • 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.

  • You’re a Big Man!

    ByWolfie

    An experimental jazz track sampling and remixing an improvised acapella recording, incorporating horns and a live jazzy feel to a lighthearted melody about my son growing up. “You’re a Big Man!” started as a simple voice memo ( a proud dad moment caught on tape ) and evolved into a horn-driven, jazz-flavored celebration of watching your little one hit those big milestones.

  • Let’s Go Outside!

    ByWolfie

    It could be raining. It could be a hurricane! But the kids need to go outside. We’ve all had the realization that no amount of toys, screen time, or couch forts will substitute for just getting them out the door. “Let’s Go Outside!” is that truth set to a beat, it’s as much a pep talk for us as it is for them.

  • It’s a Stick!

    ByWolfie

    Hand a kid a stick and watch what happens! It’s a sword. It’s a rocket ship. It’s the key to an entire kingdom that didn’t exist thirty seconds ago. “It’s a Stick!” captures that wild, beautiful imagination that turns the simplest thing in the yard into the greatest toy ever made. Plus, “It’s a beautiful incredible stick!” is a direct quote from my 3 year old.
