Who's the black private dick   That's a sex machine to all the chicks?   Shaft, ya, damn right      Who is the man that would risk his neck   For his brother man?   Shaft, can you dig it?      Who's the cat that won't cop out   When there's danger all about?   Shaft, right on      They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother   Shut your mouth   But I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft   Then we can dig it      He's a complicated man   But no one understands him but his woman   John Shaft
