Whip It

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
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.

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

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

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
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
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Well, whip it good.
