G5                   D5 
Down on the highway late last night 
C5                    G5 
Shoulda looked left, shoulda looked right 
G5                      D5 
Didn't see the station wagon car 
    C5                      G5 
The skunk got squashed and there you are 
             G5                 D5 
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road 
C5                 G5 
Dead skunk in the middle of the road 
G5                 D5 
Dead skunk in the middle of the road 
C5                G5 
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
