Pinball Wizard

Ever since I was a young boy

I played the silver ball;

From Soho down to Brighton

I must have played 'em all

But I ain't seen nothin' like him

In any amusement hall

That deaf, dumb an' blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue

Becomes part of the machine

Feelin' all the bumpers

Always playin' clean

He plays by intuition

The digit counters fall

That deaf, dumb, blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinball!

(He's a pinball wizard

There has to be a twist

A pinball wizard's

Got such a supple wrist)

So how do you think he does it?

What makes him so good?

He ain't got no distractions

Can't hear those buzzes and bells

Don't see lights a-flashin'

Plays by sense of smell

Always has a replay

Never tilts at all

That deaf, dumb, blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinball

(I thought I was the bally table king

But I just handed my pinball crown to him)

Even my usual table

He can beat my best

His disciples lead him in

And he just does the rest

He's got crazy flipper' fingers

Never seen him fall

That deaf, dumb, blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinball
