Crack that whip
And give the past the slip
Step on a crack
And break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
Before the cream sits out too long
When something's going wrong
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
Crack that whip
And give the past the slip
Step on a crack
And break your momma's back
When a good time turns around
(You must whip it)
You will never live it down
(You must whip it)
No one gets their way
(until they 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
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it, whip it, whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it, whip it, whip it good
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
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it, whip it good
