Lyrics Isaac Hayes

Isaac Hayes

Theme from Shaft

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

But 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
