[Verse 1]
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time

A-Frank Zappa and the Mothers
We're at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

[Chorus]
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

[Bridge]
Hell with you burn it down

[Verse 2]
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids out the ground

When it all was over
Had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
[Chorus]
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

[Guitars Solos]

[Verse 3]
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, a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this, heh
I know, I know we'll never forget

[Chorus]
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

[Guitar and Organ Solo]
