Who's the black private dick

that's a sex machine to all the chicks?

(Shaft!)

You're damn right

Who is the man

that would risk his neck for his brother man?

(Shaft!)

Can ya dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out

when there's danger all about

(Shaft!)

Right on

You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--

(Shut your mouth)

But I'm talkin' about Shaft

(Then we can dig it)

He's a complicated man

but no one understands him but his woman

(John Shaft)
