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

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

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

When a good time turns around (you must whip it)
You will never live it down (unless you whip it)
No one gets their way

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 good
I say 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 good
