Whip It Lyrics

[Verse: Mark Mothersbaugh & Gerald Casale]
Crack that whip, give the past a slip
Step on a crack, break your momma's back

[Chorus: Gerald Casale & Mark Mothersbaugh]
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

[Post-Chorus: Mark Mothersbaugh]
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

[Chorus: Gerald Casale & Mark Mothersbaugh]
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

[Bridge: Mark Mothersbaugh]
I say whip it, whip it good
I say whip it, whip it good

[Verse: Mark Mothersbaugh & Gerald Casale]
Crack that whip, give the past a slip
Step on a crack, break your momma's back

[Chorus: Gerald Casale & Mark Mothersbaugh]
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

[Post-Chorus: Mark Mothersbaugh]
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
