G                   D
Down on the highway late last night
C                    G
Shoulda looked left, shoulda looked right
G                      D
Didn't see the station wagon car
    C                      G
The skunk got squashed and there you are
 

Chorus:
             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 like you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory
 
Chorus
 
Instrumentals

Aww, 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 are gonna make you swoon
 
Chorus

Steel

It's dead, it's in the middle
Aw, it’s dead skunk in the middle
Aw it’s dead, it’s in the middle of the road
Stinking to high heaven
All over the road
Technicolor
Aw, go on and stink
