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!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road Dead skunk in the middle of the road You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
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
Dead skunk in the middle of the road Dead skunk in the middle of the road You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
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! Dead skunk in the middle of the road Dead skunk in the middle of the road You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
It's dead, it's in the middle Dead skunk in the middle! Dead skunk in the middle of the road All over the road, technicolor man! It's dead, it's in the middle And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven! More from Wainwright Loudon
