MUSIC: Theme from Shaft

He's the baddest...

The bravest...

Fly.

Private eye in the city, John Shaft.

# Everybody gather round and listen to my song

# I've only got one

# We who are young should now take a stand

# Don't run from the burdens of women and men

# Continue to give, continue to live

# For what you know is right

# Most of your life can be out of sight

# Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light

# Where everyone's free

# At least that's the way it's supposed to be

# We just keep on keeping on

# We just keep on keeping on

# Many think that we have blown it

# But they too will soon admit

# That there's still a lot of love among us

# And there's still a lot of faith and warmth and trust

# When we keep on keeping on

# Before we dismiss, one thing I insist

# When you have your young, remember this song

# And our world surroundings, its leaps and bounds

# Ups and downs, is reality

# Teach them to be strong, and when they are grown

# They can proudly imply that we were an all right guy

# For all the wrong now is right

# This nation's people are now united as one

# And we just keep on keeping on

# We just keep on keeping on

# Many think that we have blown it

# But they too will soon admit

# That there's still a lot of love among us

# And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust

# When we keep on keeping on

# Keep on keeping on, ya'll

# Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

# Got to move on up, y'all

# Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

# Some years back I remember

# Still in my mind so well

# My mama made this for me

# And I found it never fails

-# Never worry too long

-Worry too long

-# About what goes wrong

-About what goes wrong

-# Today it's sorrow

-Today it's sorrow

-# Look like joy tomorrow

-Look like joy tomorrow

# Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

# Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

# We just keep on keeping on

# We just keep on keeping on

# Many think that we have blown it

# But they too will soon admit

# That there's still a lot of love among us

# And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust

# When we keep on keeping on

# Oh, oh, oh, oh

# We got to move on up

# Keep on, keep on

# Keep on, keep on

# Keep on, keep on

# Keep on, keep on

# We got to move on up y'all

# Keep on, keep on

# Keep on keeping on

# Keep on, keep on

# Keep on keeping on. #

# Sometimes in our lives

# We all have pain

# We all have sorrow

# But if we are wise

# We know that there's

# Always tomorrow

# Lean on me

# When you're not strong

# And I'll be your friend

# I'll help you carry on

# For it won't be long

# Till I'm going to need

# Somebody to lean on

# Please swallow your pride

# If I have things

# You need to borrow

# For no-one can fill

# Those of your needs

# That you won't let show

# Now, you just call on me, brother

# When you need a hand

# We all need somebody to lean on

# I just might have a problem

# That you'll understand

# We all need somebody to lean on

# Lean on me

# When you're not strong

# And I'll be your friend

# I'll help you carry on

# For it won't be long

# Till I'm going to need

# Somebody to lean on

# Ah, just call on me, brother

# When you need a hand

# We all need somebody to lean on

# I just might have a problem

# That you'll understand

# We all need somebody to lean on

# If there is a load

# You have to bear

# That you can't carry

# I'm right up the road

# I'll share your load

# If you just call me

# Call me

# If you ever need a friend

# If you need a helping hand

# Call me, call me. #
