So So We all came out to Montreux On a late-to-middle-short flight To make some records with a mobile We didn't have much time But Frank Zappa and the mobbers 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 They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound A funky clock was running in and out Pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place The Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water guitar solo We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty, cold and bare But with the rolling truck Stones laying 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 A fire in the sky Smoke on the water guitar solo Ah, break a leg, Frankie Whoo! Yeah! Oh, oh, yeah, yeah guitar solo A fire in the sky Oh, oh, oh, oh guitar solo
