Dead Skunk- Loudon Wainwright III

Crossin the highway late last night,

He should've looked left and he should've looked right.

He didn't see the station wagon car,

The skunk got squashed and there you are.

Chorus

You got a 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 its stinkin to high heaven.

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose.

Roll up your windows and hold your nose.

You dont have to hear and you dont have to see,

Cause you can feel it in your ol-fact-o-ry!

(Chorus)

Well, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog,

And on a moonlight night you've got your dead toad-frog.

Got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon.

The blood and the guts, they're going to make you swoon!

(Chorus)

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

Stinking to high heaven

All over the road

Technicolor

Oh, you got pollution.

It's dead.

It's in the middle,

And it's stinkin' to high heaven
