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! )
