Lyrics

Big John Shaft

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'll make another movie

The same on as the year before

Take a tired idea

Put it in the hands of Hollywood

I need to talk to someone

I've been living someone else's life

I don't get no mail at my house anymore

My manager's my bride

I'm sitting on a jet plane

I'll see my baby soon enough

I won't take her to the movie

I'm worried that the lines become all blurred

I couldn't help but feeling something

When the boss told us to act that way

I'm ashamed of my profession

I would do the same again

I'll make another movie

Same one as the year before

I'm looking for a story

Something ludicrous to come up from the street

I won't play another heavyweight

I won't play another big John Shaft

Put me in a frock and leave me to recite

Maybe my career will die
