Dead Skunk (in the Middle of the Road)

by Loudon Wainwright III

v.1
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 an' there you are

Chorus:
Y' gotta dead skunk in the middle of the road [3t]
An' he's stinkin' to high heaven

v.2
Well take a whiff on me that ain't no rose
Roll up your window and hold your nose
You don't have to look no you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

Rpt Ch.

v.3
Well you got your dead cat an you got two dead dogs
On a moonlight night you got your dead toad frog
Y' got your dead rabbit an' your dead racoon
The blood and the guts 'r gonna make you swoon

Rpt Ch to end
