[Intro]
Come-out roll
(2, 3, 12)
What’s the toll
(We delve)
[Bridge]
In a funk
(Skunked)
[Chorus]
Skunked from the get-go
(Debunked ego)
Thought he’d be a hero
(Ended as a zero)
[Verse]
The smell fills the air
Everyone everywhere
Is fully aware
(Of what going on there)
[Bridge]
Come-out roll
(2, 3, 12)
What’s the toll
(We delve)
[Break]
In a funk
(Skunked)
[Chorus]
Skunked from the get-go
(Debunked ego)
Thought he’d be a hero
(Ended as a zero)
[Outro]
The smell fills the air
Everyone everywhere
Silent but aware
(Of what going on there)
ABOUT THE SONG
In the context of dice games, the term “skunked” is associated with a vintage dice game called “Skunk,” introduced by Schaper Manufacturing in the 1950s. In this game, players roll dice to accumulate points, but rolling a “skunk” (represented by a skunk image on one side of the die) results in losing all points for that turn. The term “skunked” has since been used colloquially to describe a situation where a player loses all their points in a single turn due to an unfavorable roll.
In the game of craps, rolling a “craps” (2, 3, or 12) on the come-out roll results in an immediate loss for Pass Line bets. Therefore, players generally aim to avoid rolling these numbers during the come-out roll. However, once a point is established, rolling a 2, 3, or 12 has different implications depending on the specific bets placed.
