[Intro]
Out all night
Sleep all day
Avoiding light
Along the way
[Verse 1]
Can’t you tell
(You smell)
What do you think
(You don’t stink?)
[Bridge]
Out all night
Sleep all day
Avoiding light
Along the way
[Chorus]
Mephitidae (Dee, dee, dee)
Naturally (Dee, dee, dee)
Mephitidae (Dee, dee, dee)
Get away from me (me, me, me)
[Verse 2]
Oh, well, well
(What a smell)
Don’t you think
(You really stink?)
[Bridge]
Out all night
Sleep all day
Avoiding light
Along the way
[Chorus]
Mephitidae (Dee, dee, dee)
Naturally (Dee, dee, dee)
Mephitidae (Dee, dee, dee)
Get away from me (me, me, me)
[Outro]
Out all night
Sleep all day
Avoiding light
Along the way
A SCIENCE NOTE
Skunks are part of the Mephitidae family, which literally means “bad smell” or “stink”. Skunks are more closely related to weasels, otters, and badgers than they are to rodents. DNA sequencing has shown that skunks are unique and belong in a family separate from Mustelidae. Skunks are omnivores that eat insects, small mammals, birds, crustaceans, fruits, grasses, leaves, buds, grains, nuts, and carrion. They are nocturnal, sleeping during the day and emerging at dusk to look for food.
