Do you mean the first two lines in the sheet music, or the first two lines that rhyme? If you're asking about the actual music, it's
"Crack that whip, give your past the slip
Step on a crack, break your mama's back"
"Crack that whip, give the past a slip."

It's based on the song "Whip It" by Devo.
Devo
DEVO (That's the Bands' name)
The Song "Whip It" by Devo was originally released in 1980, in their album, "Freedom of Choice". It is listed on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 80's" and "100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80's".
The first of the two tribute tunes they play is "Whip It" by DEVO (this is the one with the fast hi-hat cymbals). The second song with the rattling gizmo that won't quit, then the second time they play it there's a heavy metal shriek that echoes... This song is what I am looking for. It's very familiar but I can't figure it out. Good luck. -Update- The first song they tribute (where they clap the sticks together) is Devo's "Whip it". The second song (with the workaholic rattle) is Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train". The third song (with the lighter) is Led Zeppelin's "Kashimir".
If you are referring to the 1980 Devo single, there are a number of answers. Written by Mark Mothersbaugh, the song indeed is sort of a self-help poem. The first option is simply to Whip It Good in order to pull yourself up and to overcome adversity. That's the most common interpretation. If you ask Devo themselves, they will tell you that it was about Jimmy Carter, but that was years after the song was written, so it may not be true. There are those who believe it's about inhaling nitrous oxide from whipped cream cans (a "whip-it", is a nitrous charger for whipped cream dispensers). Finally, there are certainly many who the lyrics at face value, as an ode to masturbation and sadomasochism.
