"This next song has one of the greatest bass riffs," Dewey said. Katie started playing the riff of "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple. She did it five times, then Dewey started to sing the first verse:
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
But Frank Zappa and the Mothers
We're at the best place around
But come stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
The girls joined again for the chorus.
Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Katie started to play the riff again and started an instrumental break. Dewey then started to sing the second verse.
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out to the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Dewey and the girls started to sing the chorus again and Zack started a guitar solo. The third verse began.
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling-truck-Stones-thing 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
They sang the chorus once more time and Lawrence started a keyboard solo to fill in for the organ solo and the song ended. The audience clapped again.
