[Intro]
\nCome-out roll
\n(2, 3, 12)
\nWhat’s the toll
\n(We delve)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIn a funk
\n(Skunked)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSkunked from the get-go
\n(Debunked ego)
\nThought he’d be a hero
\n(Ended as a zero)<\/p>\n

[Verse]
\nThe smell fills the air
\nEveryone everywhere
\nIs fully aware
\n(Of what going on there)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCome-out roll
\n(2, 3, 12)
\nWhat’s the toll
\n(We delve)<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nIn a funk
\n(Skunked)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nSkunked from the get-go
\n(Debunked ego)
\nThought he’d be a hero
\n(Ended as a zero)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThe smell fills the air
\nEveryone everywhere
\nSilent but aware
\n(Of what going on there)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nIn 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
