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
