dead skunk

loudon wainwright iii

crossing 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 your dead skunk in the middle of the road

dead skunk in the middle of the road

dead skunk in the middle of the road

stinking to high heaven

take a whiff on me

that ain't no rose

roll up your window and hold your nose

you don't have to look and you don't have to see

'cause you can feel it in your olfactory

you got your 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 stinking to high heaven

yeah

you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog

on a moonlight night

you got your dead toad frog

got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon

the blood and the guts

they're gonna make you swoon

you got your dead skunk in the middle

dead skunk in the middle of the road

dead skunk in the middle of the road

stinking 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

stinking to high heaven

all over the road

technicolor

oh

you got pollution

it's dead

it's in the middle

and it's stinking to high

high heaven
