  			G                    D 
Crossing the highway late last night 
   C                          G 
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right 
   G                      D 
He didn't see the station wagon car 
    C                   G 
The skunk got squashed, there you are 
             G                 D 
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road 
C                 G 
Dead skunk in the middle of the road 
G                 D 
Dead skunk in the middle of the road 
C                G 
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
