Smoke on the Water Lyrics

We all came out to Montreux
On the lake Geneva shore
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mamas
Had the best place in town
And then some loonie with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

Yah, watch it burn, burn down

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running around
He was pulling kids out 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, now
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

Watch it burn

We ended up at the grand hotel
It was empty cold as hell
The rolling stone truck stayed outside
We turned the music down
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

Smoke on that h2o
Conflagration in the sky
