Verse:
We all came out to Montroux
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

Verse:
They Burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Butt Swiss time was running out
It seemed we would lose the race
(guitar same as the first verse)

E—riff starts———————————
*release the bend slowly while you hit the string
Several times so that the last note is played at
The end of the first riff
Play the riff a 2nd time
Verse: (guitar stops, drum, bass and organ go on)
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 and a few old beds
