Smoke on the Water

We all came out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

We didn't have much time

Frank Zappa & the Mothers were at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

They burned down the gambling house

It died with an awful sound

Funky & Claude was running in and out

Pulling kids out of the ground

When it all was over, we had to find another place

Swiss time was running out

It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel

It was empty, cold and bare

But with the Rolling Truck Stones

Thing just outside making our music there

With a few red lights an' a few old beds

We made a place to sweat

No matter what we get out of this

I know... I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water
