We Gall came Fout to GMontreux

On the Lake FGeneva Gshoreline

To make Frecords with a Gmobile

We didn't Fhave much Gtime

GFrank FZappa and the GMothers

Were at the best Fplace aGround

But some Fstupid with a Gflare gun

Burned the place Fto the Gground

CSmoke on the Abwater, and Gfire in the sky

CAbEGAEGBAEGAGE2x

Smoke on the water

They Gburned down the Fgambling Ghouse

It died with an Fawful Gsound

A funky Claude was running Fin and Gout

Pulling kids Fouta the Gground

When it Fall was Gover

We had to find aFnother Gplace

But Swiss time was Frunning Gout

It seemed that we would Flose the Grace

CSmoke on the Abwater, and Gfire in the sky

We Gended up at the FGrand HoGtel

It was empty Fcold and Gbare

But with the Rolling truck Stones thing Fjust outGside

Making our Fmusic Gthere

With a Ffew red Glights, a Ffew old Gbeds

We made a Fplace to Gsweat

No matter what we Fget out of Gthis

I know, I know we'll Fnever forGget

CSmoke on the Abwater, and Gfire in the sky
