Smoke on the water
Smoke on the water
Publisher: GLENWOOD MUSIC CORPORATION
We didn’t have much time
To make records with a mobile
We made a place to sweat
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
Fire in the sky
But with the rolling truck stones thing just outside
Were at the best place around
It seemed that we would lose the race
Frank Zappa and the mothers
Burned the place to the ground
I know, I know we’ll never forget
Smoke on the water
Pulling kids out the ground
With a few red lights and a few old beds
Smoke on the water
Fire in the sky
No matter what we get out of this
Songwriters: Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord, Ian Paice
They burned down the gambling house
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
Smoke on the water
When it all was over
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Smoke on the water
We had to find another place
We all came out to Montreux
Fire in the sky
But swiss time was running out
Just making our music there
It was empty cold and bare
But some stupid with a flare gun
