The Little Skunk's Hole

I put my head in a little skunk's hole
And the little skunk said "Well bless my soul!"
Take it out, 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 were dead.
Take it out, take it out,- "S-s-s-s-s-"
I removed it.
