DEAD SKUNK
As recorded by Loudon Wainwright III on "Album III" (1972)

Crossin' the highway late last night
He should 'a' looked left and he should 'a' looked right
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are.

CHORUS: 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
Stinkin' 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. CHORUS

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. CHORUS
