Lyrics:

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, a fire in the sky Smoke on the water They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out Pulling kids out of ground When it all was over We had to find another place Swiss time was running on 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
