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, 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 Chorus Yeah, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog On a moonlit night you got your dead toad frog You got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon The blood and the guts, they gonna 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, high heaven
