"John Shaft" lyrics
"John Shaft"
Who's the Black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft) Can you dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out, when there's danger all about?
(Shaft) Right on
A Black private eye whose mastermind has got him all he wanted
(Shaft) Shaft, Shaft is the man. Huh
Shaft, Shaft is the man. Huh!
He stands for the good, in the roughest neighbourhood he's no stranger (Right On)
He's treated with respect, his friends let him know that there is danger (Can you dig it)
He's a complicated man, and no one understands him but his woman (John Shaft)
Shaft, Shaft is the man. John Shaft
Shaft, Shaft is the man
If Shaft gives his word, his word is his bond that you can count on
(Shaft) Can you dig it?
He leaves no stone unturned, no matter what the cost, he gets the job done
(Shaft) Right on. Shaft, Shaft is the man
Shaft, Shaft is the man John Shaft!
Hah
He's the baddest
The bravest
Black
Private dick in the city
John Shaft. Huh
Hey man. Can you dig him?
Always lookin' so cool
Together for days in all that leather
Taking care of business, too, baby
He's always on the case
I mean, he gets it all together
Huh
Yeah, he's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad, bad
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad, bad
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad, bad
Go ahead with your bad self, John Shaft
