G                    D                 
Crossing the highway late last night,  
   C                          G                      
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right.  
   G                      D           
He didn't see the station wagon car.  
    C                      G               
The skunk got squashed and there you are.  
   
G                    D                 
Crossing the highway late last night,  
   C                          G                      
He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right.  
   G                      D           
He didn't see the station wagon car.  
    C                      G               
The skunk got squashed and there you are.  
   
             G                 D

Take a whiff on me. That ain't no rose.  
C                       G                
Roll up your window and hold your nose.  
    G                          D                  
You don't have to look and you don't have to see  
               C                  G         
'Cause you can feel it in your ol-factory.
