Lyrics
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.
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!)
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 a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
(john shaft)
