Crossing the highway late last night,
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right.
He didn't see the station wagon car.
The skunk got squashed and there you are.
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
(And it's) Stinking to high heaven
Take a whiff on me. That ain't no rose.
