Crack that whip
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sets out too long
You must whip it (you must whip it)
When something's goin' wrong
You must whip it (you must whip it)

Now whip it
Into shape, shape it up
Get straight, go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it, it's not too late
To whip it, whip it good

When a good time turns around
You must whip it (you must whip it)
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it (you must whip it)
No one gets away
Until they whip it (you must whip it)

I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good

Crack that whip (whip)
Give the past a slip (slip)

Into shape, shape it up
Get straight, go forward
Move ahead

Get straight, go forward
Move ahead

To whip it
Well, whip it good

I say whip it
Whip it good
