[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 will never live it down
No one gets their way

[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I say whip it, whip it good
I say whip it, whip it good
