Lyrics Superfly Meets Shaft - Dickie Goodman

We interrupt this record to bring you a special bulletin
Superfly is missing

(Owww, good God)

We now take you to our on the spot reporter

I have several witnesses here with me
Sir, when was the last time you saw Superfly?

(It was the third of September)

And you, sir
Can you describe the suit Superfly was wearing?

(Black or yellow, red or white and brown)

And you, sir
Who was the last person Superfly was seen with?

(Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones)

If we need you for any further information
Can we call you?

(Whenever you call me, I'll be there)

We take you now to Washington

We're here at the White House
The President has a special announcement regarding Superfly
Mister President, Mister President
What seems to be the problem?

(I got ants in my pants
And I need to dance)

Just arriving at the White House
Is the man who would risk his neck for his brother man
(Shaft)

Shaft, now that the President has called you into the case
What will you be doing?

(Chasing women and drinking)

Mister President
What is your opinion of Shaft?

(This cat Shaft is a bad
Shut your mouth)

I see the President and Shaft
Have gone into the White House

(What they do)

Mister President, Mister President
What are you and Shaft doing in there?

(Holding hands
Making all kinds of plans)

Mister President, why are you holding hands with Shaft?

(Could it be I'm falling in love)

I've just been handed a bulletin
Super Fly was last seen

(In Egypt, in Israel too)

We take you back to our on the spot reporter

I'm here with Freddie, who we believe knows the whereabouts of Superfly
Excuse me, Freddie
What a minute, what happened?

(Freddie's dead)

Freddie's dead?

(That's what I said)

Oh, well, I have several other witnesses
Do you know where Superfly is?

(We know, they know and you know and I know)

I don't know, how do you know

(Your best friend wrote and told me)

And just who is my best friend?

(Superfly)
