(originally by Devo)

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 will never live it down
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
