~Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road; Loudon Wainwright III
/8
   G                    D
1  Crossin' the highway late last night,
      C                            G
   He should've looked left and he should've looked right,
   G                      D
   Didn't see the station wagon car,
       C                      G
   The skunk got squashed and there you are.
/4
Chorus---         G                  D
   You've 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
       Stinkin' to high heaven.

2  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 olfactories.    (chorus)
/3
Solo---   All over the road.   Technicolor.   Come on, skunk, stink.

3  Now you've got your dead cat and you've got your dead dog,
   On a moonlit night you've got your dead toad frog.
   Got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon,
   The blood and the guts, they're gonna make you swoon.    (chorus)
