lyrics

SKUNK SONG

When I can't see the jiggle of the beetles and the bees
When I can't hear the cackle of the chickens and the geese
Then I'm a lump on a trunk a skunk in a funk
Yes, I'm a lump on a trunk a skunk in a funk oh yeah

And I rapidly perceived with my own eyes
A little curl of smoke in the distance on the rise
Two little curls of smoke that alarm me to the quick
For they turn into a cloud that is very, very thick.

Might it be that this is it, that we can never more attend
To the roses in the field that the world is at an end?
Oh no! Oh no!

When I can't see the jiggle of the beetles and the bees
When I can't hear the cackle of the chickens and the geese
Then I'm a lump on a trunk a skunk in a funk
Yes, I'm a lump on a trunk a skunk in a funk oh yeah

When I can't take a stroll through the brambles and the woods
When I can't go a-trotting through the meadows and the hoods
Then I'm a lump on a trunk a skunk in a funk
Yes, I'm a lump on a trunk a skunk in a funk oh yeah
