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)

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)
