Loudon Wainwright III

[G] Crossin' the highway [D] late last night,

He [C] should'a looked left and he [G] should'a looked right,

[G] He didn't see the station [D] wagon car,

The [C] skunk got squashed and [G] there you are

You got a [G] dead skunk in the [D] middle of the road

[C] Dead skunk in the [G] middle of the road

[G] Dead skunk in the [D] middle of the road

[C] Stinkin' to high [G] heaven

Well, [G] pardon me but that [D] ain't no rose,

[C] Roll up your windows and [G] hold your nose,

You [G] don't have to look and you [D] don't have to see

'Cause you can [C] feel it in your ol-[G]-factory

You got a [G] dead skunk in the [D] middle of the road

[C] Dead skunk in the [G] middle of the road

[G] Dead skunk in the [D] middle of the road

[C] Stinkin' to high [G] heaven

Well you [G] got your dead cat and you [D] got your dead dog

On a [C] moonlit night you got your [G] dead toad frog

You [G] got your dead rabbit and your [D] dead racoon

The [C] blood and the guts they gonna [G] make you swoon

You got a [G] dead skunk in the [D] middle of the road

[C] Dead skunk in the [G] middle of the road

[G] Dead skunk in the [D] middle of the road

[C] Stinkin' to high [G] heaven
