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

    My family's dog "Devo" died about 6 months ago. We named him "Devo" because his dog breed was I kid you not, "Whippet". We will always remember him.

    Fun Fact: The lead singer, Mark Mothersbaugh, made the theme songs for the Nickelodeon show, Rugrats, and composed music for the show's episodes as well, and he composed the Clifford The Big Red Dog theme song around 2000 with another singer singing the theme song. This guy went from being an 80's singer, to a show composer like Danny Elfman did on him in Oingo Boingo band in the 80's, and wound up making The Simpsons theme song and film composer! Cool how some less known people in one era became well known later on in their lives!
