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

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 - hey!

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