“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!

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!”

Isaac Hayes
