 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 and 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, and fire in the sky

- 2x

Smoke on the water

 They burned down the gambling house

 It died with an awful sound

 A funky Claude was running in and out

 Pulling kids outa the ground

 When it all was over

 We had to find another place

 But Swiss time was running out

 It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky

 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

 I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky
