Theme From Shaft Lyrics By Isaac Hayes

    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
