Smoke on the Water Songtext
von Deep Purple

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
Yeah, we didn′t have much time

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
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
Burning down, yeah

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


When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
Seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Hear me calling you, baby

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
Yeah, 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
Burn
Yeah-yeah


So we step ashore
Gotta look behind, what I did
Yet, I see
Woman, you know I need your help
Oh, woman
You know I need your help
To help me make it long

Now, I want you all listen, very closely
We gotta come together
We gotta come together
And if you don′t up your hand
I'm gonna come out there
I'm gonna come out there and put down your dresses
You gotta listen now

Thank you
You can do a lot better than that
Come on
