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  

[Refrão]
             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
