[Intro]
\nOut all night
\nSleep all day
\nAvoiding light
\nAlong the way<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nCan’t you tell
\n(You smell)
\nWhat do you think
\n(You don’t stink?)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOut all night
\nSleep all day
\nAvoiding light
\nAlong the way<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMephitidae (Dee, dee, dee)
\nNaturally (Dee, dee, dee)
\nMephitidae (Dee, dee, dee)
\nGet away from me (me, me, me)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nOh, well, well
\n(What a smell)
\nDon’t you think
\n(You really stink?)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOut all night
\nSleep all day
\nAvoiding light
\nAlong the way<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nMephitidae (Dee, dee, dee)
\nNaturally (Dee, dee, dee)
\nMephitidae (Dee, dee, dee)
\nGet away from me (me, me, me)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nOut all night
\nSleep all day
\nAvoiding light
\nAlong the way<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE
\nSkunks 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.<\/p>\n
