tall and straight and slim.
He had a shotgun in his hand and his
His heels was kicking up the dust
And when I asked him what was
wrong, his whiskers fairly shook.
I ain't got time to talk, he,
So get your gun and come along,
A varmint's hangin' round my
house, a sneaky dirty feller
And the stripes that's runnin' down his back ain't white,
So get your gun and come along,
we're fixin' to kill the skunk
We've done it before and we'll do it again,
a neighbor that's no bunk
USA is sick of the little punk
Saul, get your gun and come along,
we're fixin' to kill a skunk.
This varmint's had his way too long,
spreadin' his awful smell,
and messin' up a lot of homes
where de cent people dwell.
But now he's gone a little too far,
struttin' and prancin' about,
cause when he gets in my neighborhood,
mister, he better look out.
I like my home the way it is,
and I like it more every day.
And as long as I'm able to pack this gun,
I'm going to keep it that way.
But I know how to deal with him,
I've handled his kind before.
but the job will be done and I'll nail his hide to the door.
So get your gun and come along,
we've got a skunk to kill.
We'll poke him out of the wood pile and
When we get done with the son of a gun,
he'll know he's bit off a hunk.
So get your gun and come along,
we're fixin' to kill the skunk.
I recollect one other time, twenty some years ago,
another skunk come prowling around and at first I just let him go.
I tried my best to leave him alone, but he wore my patience thin,
so I had to get my shotgun out and you know what happened to him.
Well, after that I kinda relaxed and laid my gun away,
but now that smell has started again and it's getting worse every day.
So here I am on the varmint's trail,
and neighbor, I'm telling you,
that skunk had better hunt a hole
for him and all of his crew.
So get your gun and come along,
we've got a skunk to skin.
We'll grab his tail and give it a yank
and pull it off over his chin.
We'll chase him back to his dirty den
and make it a pile of junk.
So get your gun and come along,
we're fixing to kill the skunk.
