Shaft — Konne ye?

Some dude with a livejournal has translated the lyrics to the Shaft themesong into Middle English. It doesn’t scan exactly right, but given the lack of native Middle English speakers out there, this detracts little from the funny. Go here for the rest, but this is a small taste:

Alle clepe tha carl ane badde mooder–
SOFTE!
Speken of Shafte bene I.
THAN KONNE ALLES WE!
