Who's the black private [bad word] that's a  machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft!)
You're [bad word] 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 [bad word] man
but no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)
