Lyrics[]
(2018 and 2022 versions:)
Bella: Sometimes, I feel like I'm having a bad day,
Or maybe feeling a sad way,
And I could break down and cry.
Sometimes, the world can feel like a hard place,
I feel a frown upon my face,
And I don't even know why.
But when I'm feeling blue,
I know what to do,
I just feel the groove,
And I start to move
Bailando, always makes me feel better.
Bailando makes my troubles all fade away.
Bailando chases off the bad weather.
Bailando always makes it okay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Bailando! (x3)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
(2018 version only:)
Chuck E.: Hey Helen, who's this?
Helen: Oh this is my new friend Bella, she's telling me all about Bailando!
Chuck E.: Um.. cool!
(2018 and 2022 versions:)
Helen: One time, my day at school was just rotten,
My homework I had forgotten,
My sky was cloudy and grey.
Then I, got a strain on my dress then,
I got in a fight with my best friend,
Nothing was going my way.
But when I'm feeling blue,
I know what to do,
I just feel the groove,
And I start to move
Helen: Bailando, always makes me feel better.
Bailando makes my troubles all fade away.
Bailando makes my worries roll off my feathers.
Bailando always makes it okay."
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Bailando! (x3)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Chuck E.: Hey Helen, what's that word you keep saying?
Helen: Bailando! It's Spanish! Bella taught it to me!
Chuck E.: Uh.. what's it mean?
Helen: It means dancing!
Chuck E.: Oh, neat!
Bella: Sometimes,
You feel the weight of your problems,
And don't really know how to solve them,
They feel much bigger than you.
Helen: Sometimes,
You feel yourself feeling down and,
Nothing can turn it around and,
There's nothing left you can do.
Helen and Bella: But when you're feeling blue,
You know what to do,
You just feel the groove,
And you start to move
Bailando, always makes me feel better.
Bailando makes my troubles all fade away.
Bailando, no worries when we’re together.
Bailando always makes it okay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Bailando! (x4)

Trivia[]
- This song marks the first appearance of Bella Bunny, however, once her second design was revealed on Show 3 2019, Bailando would not be used on a showtape again until Evergreen Show 2024. This is likely because of Bella being different both appearance and voice-wise in later content.
- Bailando means “dancing” in Spanish.
- Bailando would be re-recorded by Alisa Amador for the Apple and Spotify album "Music, Friends, & Fun for All!". The intro is also cut out, as well as Chuck and Helen's first speaking parts. This re-dub would also be used in an edited version of the original music video, which only cuts out the intro, for YouTube compilations. The latter edit would also be used on KIDZ BOP Show 2023, a show for international locations. It made its domestic debut on Evergreen 2024 in January, except for the Existing Stages version of the showtape. The original version continued to be used on Existing Stages showtapes as late as 2025.
