  • The lyrics from the Shaft theme in Chaucerian English.

    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!
