Crack that whip,
give the past the slip.
Step on a crack,
break your mom ma’s back.
When a good time turns a round, you must whip it.
You fore will nev er live it down un you whip it.
When some thing’s go ing wrong, you must whip it.
Now whip it in to shape, shape it up, get straight, go for ward, move a head.
Try to de tect it.
It’s not too late to whip it, whip it good.
When a prob lem comes a long, you must whip it.
Be fore the cream sits out too long, you must whip it.
When No one gets their way un they whip it.
Now whip it in to shape, shape it up, get straight, go for ward, move a head.
Try to de tect it.
It’s not too late to whip it, whip it good.
I say whip it,
whip it good.
Now whip it
in to shape,
shape it up,
get straight,
go for ward,
move a head,
try to de tect it.
It’s not too late
to whip it
in to shape,
shape it up,
get straight,
go for ward,
move a head,
try to de tect it.
It’s not too late
to whip it,
whip it good.
