Lyrics
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, yeah
We didn't have much time now
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, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
(Burned it down)
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 now
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, a fire in the sky... I can't hear you
(Smoke on the water) alright
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 and 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
Smoke on the water, a fire in the... I still can't hear, come on!
(Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky)
(Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky)
(Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky)
(Smoke on the water) we-he-hee-oh!
(Fantastic)
(Superbe!)
(You're great, thank you very much)
(Deep Purple, come on!)
(Deep Purple, take it easy, alright!)
(Deep Purple)
(Deep Purple)
(Hiya, Deep Purple!)
