Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road
by Loudon Wainwright III
The lyrics are pretty much exact from the record. The chords are GDCG
repeated over and over, 2 beats per chord, without variation. After each
chorus, he runs through the chords for a full verse again before singing the
next verse. Let me know if you have any questions.
G D
Crossing the highway late last night,
C G
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right.
D
He didn't see the station wagon car.
C G
The skunk got squashed and there you are.
CHORUS:
D
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road
C G
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
D
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
C G
(And it's) 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 and you don't have to see
'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory.
(chorus)
Yeah, 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, they gonna make you swoon.
You got your dead skunk In the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinking to high heaven
C'mon, stink
You got it. It's dead. It's in the middle.
Dead skunk in the middle
Dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinking to high heaven
All over the road
Technicolor
Oh, you got pollution.
It's dead.
It's in the middle,
And it's stinkin' to high heaven.
Dead Skunk- Loudon Wainwright III

The skunk got squashed and there you are.
Chorus
You got a 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 its stinkin to high heaven.
Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose.
Roll up your windows and hold your nose.
You dont have to hear and you dont have to see,
Cause you can feel it in your ol-fact-o-ry!
(Chorus)
Well, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog,
And on a moonlight night you've got your dead toad-frog.
Got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon.
The blood and the guts, they're going to make you swoon!
