Smoke on the Water Deep Purple We all came out to Montereax On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time But 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 Smoke on the water... They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Oh Funky Claude was running in & out Pulling kids out 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 Smoke on the water... [Solo] We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside... makin' 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 Smoke on the water...
