Dead Skunk lyrics

Crossin' the highway late last night
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right
He didn't see the Station Wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven

Take a whiff on me that ain't no rose
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got yer
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
And it's stinkin' to high heaven

Yeah, you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog
On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon

You got yer dead skunk, in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven, c'mon stink

You got it
It's dead, it's in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven

All over the road, Technicolor man
Oh, you got pollution
It's dead, it's in the middle
And it's stinkin' to high, high heaven
