The Skunk Song

I stuck my head in a little skunk hole
And the little skunk said, "Well, bless my soul!"
"Take it out! Take it out! Remove it!"

I didn't take it out and the little skunk said,
"If you don't take it out you'll wish you had."
Psssssssssssssssst! I removed it.

Submitter comment:

We used to sing this little song when I was a Camp Fire Girl.
